Big Boy Sting

Big Boy StingA 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.

which perfectly complements that signature twin fin release off the top
