A favored model for the 210 pounds plus surfer, the Big Boy Sting is designed for the big surfers who want to maximize power without giving up maneuverability and is also ideal for longboarders looking to step down towards a shortboard.

Designed and Proven to perform by Ben Aipa on the South and North shores of Oahu  in the 90's, The Big Boy Sting underwent heavy testing through the ‘2000s. After decades of refinement and 1000’s of boards built, the Big Boy Sting is now considered the most iconic Aipa design for the plus sized surfer.

The wide forward surface area concentrating into a shortboard-esque nose, with generous foam in the center, tapered rails and the iconic STING element that drastically reduces surface area in the rear, allows the Big Boy Sting to paddle like a longboard, yet turn tight and fast in the pocket like a shortboard.

The Big Boy Sting can easily handle 1-8' surf, and To ensure the board works in multiple conditions, we’ve included a 4+1 fin setup, so surfers can go with a quad fin setup for down the line speed and looseness or a 2 +1 for extra control in more powerful waves.

The Big Boy Sting is a high-performance heavy surfer’s precision weapon.  For the first time ever, the Big Boy Sting is now available in Surftech’s Fusion HD construction. A lightweight, durable epoxy build that adds extra liveliness to an already energetic design.
