BIG BROTHER STING
from Surftech Surf 2024
by Surftech
4+1 FIN SETUP / SWALLOW TAIL
Big boards equal big guy fun! Ben Aipa’s staple longboard, The Big Brother Sting is a high-performance tank designed to power through the mushiest of conditions. 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 pulledin 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.
Surftech’s version of a standard EPS and epoxy surfboard construction. A closed cell EPS core containing a wood stringer is layered with E-glass and biax glass for a light weight performance board with a lively feel. All Fusion HD boards are hand finished.
