Mahalos for the chok full informational on this channel! I saw just even the slightest hint of "AIPA" energy got me hooked already. AND I request to share my personal AIPA experience, as I was blessed with a Blue 6'9" stinger back in 2010. Bra, The kine still deliver full peformance in a WIDE scope of performance conditions. & still my favorite board, although that STiNG DARK is worth researching @ this point.
I’ve got a Fusion Sting and it’s by far the greatest board I’ve ever owned. Up front it paddles really well. In the back, it’s so easy to turn and drive hard and crank it on its rail. The front has JUST enough rocker to late drop and fit into the pocket of the wave. Yet it’s a flat enough rocker to paddle into waves almost like a longboard. Duke hides that volume in the rails REALLY well. You get back on that tail and it feels like a performance shortboard. The swallow tail might feel weird and maybe too loose and rocky compared to a more traditional tail.
Gotta love the sting design. Works on every board. I cut down the rails on my old 10’6 longboard and shaped a sting. It went way better after that. Highly recommend the Sting on anything.

So much going on in the last 1/3rd of that beauty, looks great in the Dark Arts construction.
Too bad you didn’t have any footage of it in some bigger surf.
Have you tried the Harley Ingleby Mid6? 🤙😷🇺🇲
