Big Boy Sting
Description
A favored model for the 210 pounds plus surfer, the Big Boy Sting is designed for the big boys and girls who want to maximize power without giving up maneuverability. Proven to perform by Ben Aipa on the south shore on Oahu, The Big Boy Sting was designed by Ben in the late ‘90s and underwent heavy testing through the ‘2000s. After minor refinements and 100’s of boards built, the Big Boy Sting is now considered the most iconic Aipa design. Thickness where it counts and tapered rails combined with a pulled-in nose and tail allow the Big Boy Sting to turn tight and fast in the pocket. The Big Boy Sting is no puffed-up old guy board; instead, it is a high-performance power surfer’s precision weapon with extra bulk added only where it is needed. We’ve added a swallow tail for extra control when stomping on the tail through powerful sections and decreased drag when driving off the bottom. To ensure the board works in multiple conditions, we’ve included a 4+1 fin setup (7'0"and above) and a 5-Fin Setup (6'8" and below). Riders can go with a quad fin setup when they need to skate across flat sections or a 2 + 1 when they need extra control in powerful waves. For the first time, 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.

Catches a lot of waves
"Love it. I'm not a big guy . I put twin fins on my 8ft for slower surf and it's a super loose, hyper fun-board. It's ability to handle early take-offs (like a 9ft performance board) or late drops (like a 6ft fish) give it a wide latitude for positioning especially in a crowded line-up. It did get mild pressure dents at the start but I've been riding it two years now and shows no signs of further wear. My wave count and fun count went up a lot with this board. Thank you!"
Second time buying a board!
"Exactly what I wanted and fast delivery! Thanks"
8 ft Big Boy
"Just got my Big Boy delivered an hour ago. From West Coast to East coast not a scratch. Thanks guys. I'm stoked."
It might just be me
"I bought an 8’4” Big Boy Sting last year. There is a lot about the advertising that is on point. It’s light weight, it paddles really nice and it’s fast. It catches waves easily due to your weight forward when paddling. I have been surfing for decades and my quiver is down to 13 boards, so I’ve been on a few different types of boards in my history. I just can’t seem to find a productive sweet spot on this board. I feel like it’s my first time on the thing every time I ride it. On a recent trip to Costa Rica I only took this board because I didn’t want to be tempted by another board. It did OK, but it dings really easy, and I had 8 dings from the airport travel. I am using the Aipa quad horseman fins, maybe that’s the issue, or it might be me."
Big boy stinger fantastic
"This is one of the best Surfboards for 190+ guys they 8 footer I catch all the wave"
"Well I have the 8'4, 7'4 and 6'4. . . Catches waves with ease and still very rippable. . . 8'4 feels like a 6'4 super responsive. . . My quiver is complete. . . Feels good to rep my Aipa in Hawaii. . . Classic. . ."
Big guy surfboard 7’ft 8” inch
"I’ve been in/out of the water for long time. I felt like this board was hand shaped exactly for me. I’m a big guy, 6’4ft 245 lbs athletic build. So I’m not exactly typical guy who can grab a regular board off the rack. It’s got plenty of float and paddle ability. Been thinking about grabbing another one, making me a greedy beaver catching all the waves!!!"

"Just surfed this board at Head high blacks and was blown away. What a fun board!!"
Fast shipping high quality
"Arrived sooner than expected and this is shipping to Hawaii. I wasn't expecting my board to arrive until middle or end of June I got the board in a week. Packing was first class no dings whatsoever... I will definitely order another board for sure..."
