Hawaii, surf highlights

Alexandre Ferreira on his first time surfing Pipeline ready to face the bomb.
There is an isolated island in the middle of nowhere, far from everything else, but always glowing in every surfer’s imaginary. This island has even a more special meaning for Lightning Bolt, since it was here that our story began, under the Pipeline Masters’ guidance, almost 40 years ago.
Nicolas Pinot, our french sales rep was the other hero of the day. 
Lightning Bolt’s affirmation today is still inseparable from this island and that was why, last January, our renewed BOLT TEAM set its horizons to the place where it all started, but also to one of the most blessed places for the surf practise – Hawaii.

And Hawaii played the game and welcomed us with first-class waves, during one of the best winter seasons of the last years.

Jord “Flying Dutchman” Fortmann not only shaped with Rory Russell.

It was a surf trip full of memories and emotions, definitely the most special one for those who love Lightning Bolt like we do.
