As with most of the Bing signature models, the designs evolve as the rider continues to test his model over time. As Israel spent more time with the original Izzy Rider he worked back and forth with Matt on design changes that better suited his approach to logging. After more than a years’ worth of research the new Izzy Rider Type 2 has come to fruition. The most obvious change was the elimination of the step deck in the tail that was originally inspired by Bing’s Silver Spoon model. They also worked with various outline and rocker modifications and the other noticeable change was the removal of the hard edge on the tail.
Israel and Bing’s new team rider and fellow surfer Miguel Sinclair from Sayulita Mexico came to California to spend time with Matt, and together they put the new model through the paces and were able to finalize the last details and changes to perfect the result. Once Miguel rode the final version of the Izzy Rider Type II he claimed, “it was magic”.
