High-Performance 6'6" BING Slalom Midlength Surfboard for Fall and Winter Waves
The 6'6" BING Slalom midlength surfboard is designed for surfers who want a smooth, responsive ride in fall and winter conditions or whenever the waves are good. Crafted by shaper Matt Calvani, this board blends classic 70s style with modern performance features to handle size, power, steep drops, and critical sections with ease.
Its pulled-in nose and tail, combined with a single to double concave bottom and a subtle “V” shape near the tail, give you excellent control and allow you to link turns smoothly. The foiled rails and low entry rocker help make your surfing feel effortless and fluid.
The Slalom works great at both point breaks and beachbreaks, making it a versatile choice between a shortboard and a traditional midlength. You can set it up with either a single fin or a quad fin, depending on your style.
Additional features include an 1/8" Applecore stringer, blue tint bottom with a clear deck, a WSG patch, and a single fin box with a fiberglass fin included.
Whether you’re carving, driving, or gliding, the Slalom offers a balanced, performance-driven ride that adapts to a wide range of waves and surfing styles.
