A Gallery of Vintage Lightning Bolt Surf Memorabilia

This Gerry Lopez signature laminate was produced by the Hobie Lightning Bolt licensee in Southern California. It measures 5 inches x 1.5 inches.

These typically appear on Lopez Model surfboard decks, just to the right of larger lightning bolt symbols.

Lopez signature laminates were created to avoid glassers having to sign Lopez's name on boards; a common practice in the 1970s.
