PRODUCT DETAILS
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Carver Aipa Sting C7 Surfskate Complete 30.75 good for beginners learning how to surfskate?
The Carver Aipa Sting C7 Surfskate Complete 30.75 is well suited for beginners learning to surfskate due to the stable center point and adjustable tension of the C7 front truck. The 16 3/4 inch wheelbase provides a comfortable stance width that allows new riders to practice pumping mechanics and rail control with confidence. As balance improves, riders can loosen the front spring bolt to achieve tighter carving angles and more fluid surf-style maneuvers.\n\n
What are the deck dimensions and wheelbase on the Carver Aipa Sting C7 Surfskate Complete 30.75?
The Carver Aipa Sting C7 Surfskate Complete 30.75 deck measures 30 3/4 inches long and 10 1/4 inches wide, featuring a 16 3/4 inch wheelbase along with a 3 1/2 inch nose and a 6 3/8 inch tail. This 10 1/4 inch deck width gives riders ample foot leverage across the rails for executing sharp cutbacks and power carves. The clear sugarcoat grip tape preserves the classic blue flames airbrush design while delivering maximum traction underfoot.\n\n
What wheels come on the Carver Aipa Sting C7 Surfskate Complete 30.75, and what sizes are compatible?
The Carver Aipa Sting C7 Surfskate Complete 30.75 comes stock with 69mm Smoke Concave 78A wheels that offer exceptional edge grip on flat pavement during deep turns. The board is officially compatible with Carver 68mm Mag, 69mm Concave, and 70mm Mag wheels depending on your preferred grip and slide characteristics. The complete setup also features raw C7 trucks, stainless steel hardware, and precision bearings for reliable street performance.\n\n
What is the difference between the C7 truck on the Carver Aipa Sting C7 Surfskate Complete 30.75 and the Carver CX truck?
The Carver Aipa Sting C7 Surfskate Complete 30.75 uses a dual-axis C7 front truck with an adjustable internal spring that creates fluid, sweeping turn dynamics similar to surfing a shortboard. In contrast, the Carver CX truck is a single-axis reverse kingpin design that offers a snappier response and lighter weight for riding in skateparks or bowls. The C7 system provides deeper rail lean and easier flatland pumping, making it an ideal choice for dedicated land surf training.\n\n
What is the history behind the design of the Carver Aipa Sting C7 Surfskate Complete 30.75?
The Carver Aipa Sting C7 Surfskate Complete 30.75 is a collaboration with the Aipa family honoring Ben Aipa, who created the legendary 'Da Sting' surfboard shape in 1974 for surfer Larry Bertleman. The original wing outline design was engineered to allow quick-turning and fast-pumping maneuvers that helped shape the future of modern surfing. Carver replicated these board dynamics on land using durable 7-ply maple deck construction and heavy-duty stainless steel hardware.\n\n
