1970s Vintage Aipa Wave Crest Hawaii Sting surfboard

About the Item

Vintage 1970s Aipa Wave Crest Hawaii surfboard. Features striking blue airbrushed flames design with pinlines and matching blue single fin. A remarkable example of Ben Aipa’s famous Sting surfboard design. The Sting shape was the first winged surfboard created. It’s distinct profile led to one of the most transformative moments in surf history. The positioning of the wings allowed for an early release on the face of the wave, enabling sharper turns and radical maneuvers. The Sting’s influence is recognized in all winged surfboards made to this day thanks to the renowned surfboard design pioneer, the late Ben Aipa (1942-2021).
