Bing Copeland’s marketing and board building skills delivered the Dick Brewer Pipeliner to a Surfers beyond Hawaii. Dick considered the Pipeliner a “Semi-Gun” or a “Hot Dog” board for surfing Hawaii’s manageable big days. It was his early efforts to design a board to fit the face of Pipeline like no other board of the era. The pintail delivered stylish and graceful lines making it both functional and eloquent.
