Lightning Bolt

Lightning Bolt is a pure source of inspiration, a surf icon in Hawaii.
It became the trademark for progressive surfing, through skill in the water, distinction in design and bolt signature.

During the Evolution of Modern Surfing a Hawaiian surfboard design distinguished itself as a symbol of excellence. The seed of Lightning Bolt began in 1968 when Jack Shipley met Gerry Lopez while mutually shaping for Surfline Hawaii. As surfers they understood the demand for performance in their shape and design of their surfboards. With the advent of new materials, surfing took a quantum leap forward and Lightning Bolt was the leader.
