Iconic Hawaiian surf legend Ben Aipa has passed away at the age of 78.
Aipa was an accomplished surfer, an innovative surfboard shaper, and a tenacious coach who influenced several generations of wave riders.
As one of the standout figures of 1970s surfing, he introduced the swallowtail and the stinger in surfboard design.
Ben Aipa was born in 1942 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
He was the son of a sugar plantation worker and initially embraced a semi-professional football career. However, an ankle injury put an end to his linebacker dreams.
Aipa rode his first waves in his early 20s and quickly started training hard to excel in the water sport.
