Aipa The Big Brother Sting Fusion HD

Big boards equal big-guy fun! Ben Aipa’s staple longboard, Aipa The Big Brother Sting Fusion HD is a high-performance tank designed to power through the mushiest of conditions.

For more interesting longboard shapes, check out our longboard overview here or scroll to the bottom of this page.

Extra thickness in the center of the board with a nicely foiled rail gives the perfect balance of float and performance. Riders will be able to catch any wave without sacrificing maneuverability.

A wider outline up in the front of the board increases stability, and a pulled-in tail allows quick directional changes. The iconic AIPA wing joins the front of the board, where float and stability reign supreme, with the back of the board where big turns and precision control are possible.

To keep things light, we’ve built the Big Brother Sting in Surftech’s Fusion HD construction. A lightweight and durable epoxy with a lively flex. Big stoke comes guaranteed with the Big Brother Sting; finally, a board that makes less-than-ideal conditions just as fun as the best day of the year.
