Overview

The Modern Swallow carries forward Ben Aipa’s original 1972 swallowtail design into the modern era. It’s a fusion of classic aesthetics and contemporary performance—made for surfers who respect the roots of high-performance surfing while seeking modern functionality.

With a slightly filled-in, smoothed-out vintage outline, low apex rails, and a generous vee-to-double concave out the tail, the Modern Swallow delivers a balanced ride—speed, control, and smooth transitions from waist-high peelers to overhead punch.

Designed to be ridden as a quad, it’s also wide open for experimentation. Twin, twinzer, 2+1, thruster, or single fin—this board adapts to your vibe and the waves in front of you.

The Modern Swallow is a true expression of AIPA innovation and progression—honoring the past while carving toward the future.
