In 1974 Ben Aipa, the legendary Hawaiian surfer and shaper, made his mark in surfboard history with the development of ‘Da Sting’, a quick-turning shape he first made for Larry Bertleman. “I would watch him at the Lighthouse for a moment, and I could see what he was attempting to do… I knew he was the future, so I went back to the shop and imagined the kind of board dynamics he’d need to get the maneuvers he was attempting” Ben said.How perfect then that we would collaborate with the Aipa family to make a Carver surfskate model that also achieves the same quick turning, fast pumping maneuvers we pioneered for skateboards in 1996. The clear sugar coat grip shows off the classic blue flames, one of the most iconic airbrush designs in surfboard history. *Compatible with Carver 68mm Mag, 69mm Concave, and 70mm Mag wheels*Truck Option: CXTruck Color Option: RawWheels: 69MM Smoke Concave 78ABearings: AssortedGrip Tape: SugarcoatHardware: Stainless SteelLength: 30 3/4"Width: 10 1/4"Wheelbase: 16 3/4"Nose: 3 1/2"Tail: 6 3/8"
