FERAL PIG
The Bing Feral Pig is a collaborative project between Bing head shaper, Matt Calvani and Mike Black, founder of Surf-A-Pig. Mike says, “I love the way a pig rides. In the beginning of 2009 I sold my quiver of “nose rider” logs in an effort to fund a new quiver of pigs. I wanted to see what was currently being made in the swine family. With the proceeds from this sale I went straight to Matt. At the time, I didn’t know that much about pigs, but I knew Matt was the go to guy. Matt shaped me a beautiful board that treated me well. So well, I will not sell it. Enter August 2011. I have been exclusively riding pig boards for over 3 years. I approached 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 brought 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....”( Read more on bingsurf.com/collections/feral-pig)
