The Aipa The Big Boy Sting is the oversized version of the legendary shape invented by Ben Aipa in the 1970s. Designed specifically for heavier riders or surfers seeking absolute comfort whilst paddling, this board features the famous ‘wing’ (a cut-out on the rail) characteristic of the Sting design. This unique feature reduces the width at the tail of the board, offering incredible manoeuvrability and lightning-fast tight turns despite its generous overall volume. Perfectly combining natural speed, paddling power and the responsiveness of a shortboard, it is the ideal weapon for maximising enjoyment in all conditions. Available at Waïmea in Anglet and on waimea.fr.
The Big Boy Sting: Pure power, no compromises.
Forget the preconceptions about bulky boards. The Big Boy Sting is a precision weapon designed specifically for riders weighing over 95 kg who refuse to compromise on manoeuvrability. Designed by the legendary Ben Aipa on the waves of Oahu, this iconic shape concentrates volume where it’s needed, whilst retaining tapered rails and a streamlined outline for lightning-fast turns in the pocket.
Its swallow tail ensures total control in powerful sections, whilst the adjustable fin configuration (4+1 or 5 fins) adapts to your style: quad for speed on the flat, or 2+1 to tame the power. Now available in Surftech’s Fusion HD technology, it’s lighter and more responsive, delivering unprecedented manoeuvrability
