Board Description:
• The Puddle Jumper-Sting features a winged squash tail version of the original Puddle Jumper, but we wanted to build on this design and take it a step further by incorporating the iconic Sting design element. One of our widest and most stable/playful plan-shapes has now been radicalized with the Sting. Placed at 18” (roughly 1/4 up from the tail) it immediately looked like a perfect fit. Enabling a sharper, tighter and more intense turning fulcrum, into this easy riding, playful fun machine. One of the limitations of exceedingly wide hybrids has always been that they are easy to enjoy, but difficult to get truly radical on.
• The Sting - Invented and developed for surfboards by legendary Surfer/Shaper, Ben Aipa, in the early 1970’s, The Sting is a surfboard design attribute inspired by speed boat hydroplane hulls. The design is focused on surface area reduction by utilizing a unique wing placement that allows a wider forward surface area for “planing” and carrying speed, with an abruptly reduced tail curve, behind the Sting, to initiate early release, intuitive pivot, and radical maneuverability reaction when engaged in turns. It is often used to make larger, wider, grovel type boards more maneuverable …or to maximize the performance of HP short boards. The Sting was the first winged surfboard of its kind and was the blueprint for what would become the winged twin, winged swallow, and later on, influence the bump wing thruster of the 1980’s. It is one of very few board designs that when you see it, even from afar, you know who created it.
