CONTEST RESULTS:

Hansen/Machado Classic 2003, 3d place

Hansen/Machado Classic 2004, 4th place

Earth Day at El Porto 2005, 4th place

FAVORITE BOARD: Pink Bing Noserider

WHY YOU RIDE FOR BING AND MATT: I ride for Matt for many reasons. The main reason being because he is kind and generous and I adore him. Whenever he makes me a board he allows me to feel a part of the process and his enthusiasm is contageous. When I began riding Bings, my surfing improved immediately. He and his boards inspire me, I couldn't ask for a better shaper. I have implicit faith in Matt's ability to shape amazing surfboards and his opinions regarding all things surf related. As for Bing Copeland, what can I say, he is to surfing what Elvis is to rock and roll. To be associated with his name at all is a true honor and something I don't take lightly. Thanks to both of them for allowing me to be part of something so special!!

BING TEAM RIDER: Ashley Lloyd

AGE: 24

HOMETOWN: Newbury Park

CONTEST RESULTS:

Noosa Festival of Surfing, Australia, 5th place

Kaikoura Longboard Pro-am, New Zealand, 1st place

SCLU Invitational, Steamer Lane, Santa Cruz, 1st place

FAVORITE BOARD: The Bing "Ashley Lloyd" model (of coarse).

WHY YOU RIDE FOR BING AND MATT: I like the fact that Bing has a lot of soul, and the boards are still as beautiful as they were back in the day. I can't wait to meet him! As far as Matt goes, he needs to start wearing a superman cape when he shapes, because that's what he is. I feel like I identify well with the traditional surfing, growing up surfing a place like Malibu. I'm so proud to be a part of it all.
