About the Item
Early-mid 1970s Vintage Gerry Lopez model Lightning surfboard. Features a unique diamond tail shape design with gorgeous orange tint, black lightning bolt with matching pinstriping. A magnificent well preserved Gerry Lopez surfboard made under the iconic Lightning Bolt surfboards label.
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.
