| 100089 | 2802 | Bing Pintail Lightweight | 17 | 081 | Jul 26, 2016 | 2016-07-26T06:39:56-0400 | I've got a 9-10 pintail lightweight and 9-6 Magic popout I bought for travel. Both are good boards but I prefer the Bing. It does not have a lot of nose rocker but I figured it out really quick. It paddles fast and is easy to get into waves early. Catches everything. It's plenty maneuverable with a sweep type fin and has held up well with the stock glass job. In my opinion weight is not your friend in a steeper break. I had a triple stringer Infinity custom that I sold because of the weight. I haven't found a condition the Bing didn't work in. Surfed it when I got it in California on reef breaks and it did well and surf it here in Texas at pier and jetty beach breaks and it does fine. Have had it out in good size hurricane surf with no problem. All that said, I've not ridden it in anything really top to bottom so cannot comment on that. |
