SurfSkate Carver Aipa Sting 30.75 CX

In 1974, Ben Aipa, the legendary Hawaiian surfer and board designer, left an indelible mark on the history of surfboards with the development of Da Sting, a quick-turning shape he first created for Larry Bertleman. I watched him at the Lighthouse for a moment and could understand what he was trying to achieve... I knew it was the future. So I went back to the shop and devised the board dynamics necessary to perform the maneuvers he was attempting, said Ben. It is perfect then that we have collaborated with the Aipa family to create a Carver surfskate model that can also achieve those same quick-turning and fast-pumping maneuvers that we pioneered in skateboards in 1996. The transparent grip design with a sugar layer effect showcases the iconic blue flames, one of the most emblematic airbrush designs in the history of surfboards.
