About the Item
1970s Vintage Lightning Bolt surfboard made by Jim Ellington. Featuring gorgeous light blue deck with bright yellow rails/bottom. Blue pinstripes with amazing original 3 color fixed single fin and winged pintail. Ellington was taught the craft of surfboard shaping by revered Lightning Bolt shaper, Tom Parrish. A remarkable example of a 1970s 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.
