Surftech Surfboards Aipa Big Boy Sting Fusion HD Grey/White

The AIPA Big Boy Sting is a high-performance surfboard designed specifically for surfers weighing 210 pounds or more, who want to harness power without sacrificing maneuverability. Originally crafted by legendary Hawaiian shaper Ben Aipa in the late 1990s, the Big Boy Sting was rigorously tested throughout the 2000s, earning its status as one of the most iconic Aipa designs. It has become a staple for larger surfers seeking precision and power in their surfboard.

The Big Boy Sting features strategically placed thickness to maintain volume without making the board sluggish, complemented by tapered rails, a pulled-in nose, and a narrower tail for agile, tight turns in critical sections of the wave. While it provides the extra bulk needed for stability and power, it’s far from a "big guy" cruiser—this board is engineered for dynamic, aggressive surfing.

A swallow tail design further enhances the board’s performance by offering extra control in powerful sections and reducing drag during bottom turns. The 4+1 fin setup allows flexibility: surfers can opt for a quad setup for speed and flow across flatter sections or a 2+1 configuration for greater control in larger, more powerful waves.

The Big Boy Sting is made from Fusion Hyper-Drive technology
