About the Item

Late-1970s Lightning Bolt Gerry Lopez model surfboard made by Mickey Muñoz. Features golden yellow tint with blue bolt and red outline. The coveted Gerry “Mr. Pipeline” Lopez signature pro model. Wing swallow tail shape design. A beautiful example of the iconic 1970s Gerry Lopez pro model Lightning Bolt surfboard. In 1972, Gerry Lopez and Jack Shipley started the popular lightning bolt surfboards label in Honolulu, Hawaii. They designed high performance shortboards, a new development in the surfing world at the time. Lopez created the iconic lightning bolt jag symbol which graced the boards of all the best surfers of the day. It was a representation of energy - the energy of powerful Hawaiian surf. Gerry Lopez was by far the most filmed surfer of his generation and his smooth surfing style was featured in nearly every major surf film made in the 1970s.
