The Lightning Bolt's history goes back to the time when surfing was redefined, when there were no boundaries for Hawaiian surfers, including the legendary Gerry Lopez and Rory Russell. No one rode Pipeline like them. They were the masters of style. The world was captivated by these surfers who combined the power and beauty of Pipeline with elegance.
Pipeline became the world's most famous wave, and since then, the Bolt has become the most popular brand logo on surfboards... the first thing to emerge from the tubes. The symbol represented energy—the energy of Hawaiian surfing, but also the energy of human physical strength and artistry to create surfboards that ride that energy deeper, faster, and more radically.
