There’s a lot going on that we love in this short Sunday offering from the dynamic duo known and Ho & Pringle Productions. 

This week’s release finds Mace dangling carrots in front of Pops, Mike, and Sister, Coco, in the form of an adorable, stubby, round-nosed, bump-squashed Mayhem Bean Bag, manufactured by the mad geniuses at Mervin Manufacturing and Lib Technologies, who for the last thirty or forty years have been hellbeent on building high performance, truly environmentally friendly, American-made surfboards at a fair price. 

The Bean Bag might be their most approachable and user-friendly addition to a quiver, a super durable, souped-up take on the Mini-Simmons—”A radical small wave design based on maximum surface area for lift, stability and unbridled speed in tiny surf. A winged outline for tighter turns and transitions rail to rail, flat stable deck with forgiving rails.”

Basically, a groveler that’ll fly over flat sections paddle like a board a foot longer than it is, and will last a good deal longer than most proprietary epoxy techs out there. Matt and the …Lost crew make plenty out of their San Clemente factories in standard PU, but if you were ever going to try out a truly unique, hella fun, and admirably constructed board, the Bean Bag’s a hell of a novelty/gateway board.
