1970s Vintage Lightning Bolt surfboard by Barry Kanaiaupuni
About the Item
Early-1970s Lightning Bolt surfboard made by Barry Kanaiaupuni. Features large and wide lightning bolt jag design, a telltale sign of the earliest of Lightning Bolt surfboards. Beautiful red lightning bolt with red wrapped rails and pinstriping. Winged pintail shape design. A remarkable example of one of the earliest Lightning Bolt surfboards made by the renowned Barry Kanaiaupuni.
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.
