AIPA Big Boy Sting 7’8

The Big Boy Sting is the go-to choice for surfers weighing over 210 pounds who crave power and agility out in the surf. This board was extensively tested by Ben Aipa in the late 1990s and throughout the 2000s on Oahu’s south shore, and after countless tweaks and hundreds of boards built, it has become Ben’s most iconic design. Featuring strategic thickness and tapered rails, along with a narrow nose and tail, the Big Boy Sting is capable of making sharp, speedy turns in the pocket.
