A PURE SOURCE SINCE 1971 Lightning Bolt is a pure source of inspiration. A surf icon born in Hawaii. It became the trademark for progressive surfing, through skill in the water, distinction in design and bolt signature. Our history goes back to the beginning of the 70’s, when the short board revolution took place and the style of surf was being redefined. There were no limits for the Hawaiian surfers and our boards ruled the huge tubes of Pipeline. Steeply angled drops into massive barrels pushed them closer to the most dynamic aspects of the breaking wave. What they found amounts simply to… A Pure Source. Nearing forty years since first born, the allure of the brand remains distinct and irreducible. At its core is a philosophy that surfing, in its truest form, is a way of life rather than just another sport. Lightning Bolt remains committed to the ethos so aptly captured in its logo.
