Enter August 2011. I have been exclusively riding pig boards for over 3 years. I approach Matt again. I ask him if we can put some kind of collaboration together. I feel like I have significant experiences that might be able to contribute to designing the ideal pig board, I feel like he has the skill and the foundation to execute what I am thinking about. I bring over many pigs from my herd. I tell him what experiences I had on the boards. Additionally I show him video and photos of how the boards preformed and in what conditions the preformed in. He takes it all in. We pass some numbers back and forth, and some ideas for the aesthetic of the finish.

Matt gets after it. He shapes it. I am there and observe it all. I am so stoked and full of anticipation.

Finally the board is finished. When I go to grab it from the shop... as soon as my hands touch it, I know it is perfectly balanced. Sometimes you know a board is perfect just by feeling the rail. This was that. I get it in the water. My first session was in thigh high pier dumpers. Even in these meager conditions, I knew this board was AMAZING. The next morning I get it on some clean waves. Immediately I felt this board was the single best board I had ever rode. By my third session I was beside myself with the board's functionality. This is the one board quiver. Matt is a magician. I never expected a board to ride like this. It seriously does it all. This board accelerates where every other single pig i have ever been on feels like they were dragging kelp. I didn't know it at the time...but now i do. Its kind of like being gluten intolerant. You don't know a situation isn't right until you get in the right situation. This board turns like a hot knife travels through room temperature butter. Typically a surfboard design does one thing well. This board does it all! Seriously. I am 205lbs and this thing rides the nose better than any board I have ridden. I can trust this board in the pocket on the nose. AMAZING!!!!

The BING FERAL PIG, the one board quiver."
-- Mike Black, founder of Surf-A-Pig.

Superb function and amazing aesthetics distinguish BING surfboards from all others. Just think of the Original Bing Noserider. When you see one of those boards , you know it is a BING. The special logo, the distance of that logo from the nose (around 30 inches down), the red fin, the tail block, the T-band stringer...all of these elements make that finely tuned shape be identifiable as the BING Original Noserider. Nearly half a century later we have The BING FERAL PIG. The BING FERAL PIG is a pig surfboard that comes with the "bing blue" feral pig fin, a 2" balsa stringer , and the ghost lams. When you see this combination of aesthetics you will know that surfer has the best function traditional pig under their feet.
