Product Description:
The Modern Swallow from Aipa Surf is a forward-thinking design that blends speed, style, and versatility into a wave-hungry board that makes catching waves a breeze. Shaped for progressive surfing but deeply rooted in Aipa’s legacy of innovation, the Modern Swallow is all about flow, smooth transitions, and rail-to-rail responsiveness.
The Modern Swallow’s signature swallow tail increases drive and hold through sharp turns while adding extra release off the top. A flatter rocker and fuller outline make it an easy paddler and a fast accelerator, whether you’re threading small beach breaks or pushing through chest-high walls. It’s the perfect blend of retro influence and modern performance—ready to rip but always smooth.
For riders seeking a dynamic alternative to standard shortboards, the Aipa Modern Swallow offers unmatched versatility, packaged in a clean, responsive design built for the future.
•Fused Cell EPS Core // Fused cell EPS core provides more response + flotation •Clear HD-Epoxy Resin // Epoxy resin with high thermo-mechanical performances •High-Quality E-Glass Fiberglass // E-glass is the industry standard reinforcement as it has the most reliable strength and performance of all surf glass variations. •Natural Fiber Reinforcement // Renewable, reliable, resilient, and really smooth.
Natural Fiber Technology (NFT) is not only made with natural composite reinforcements but it got an amazing natural feel. Half of the reinforcement by volume on these boards is made from naturally derived fibers. The other half is composed of E glass and the whole lot is layered up and vacuum bagged under pressure to maximize the bond and minimize any excess resin, allowing for an incredible strength-to-weight ratio. The natural fiber not only replaces a good chunk of what would otherwise be fiberglass but also improves dampening for a predictable, natural response. There is an elegance to the simple aesthetic to the layup that is matched only by its ride. *Flax color may vary slightly.
