Introducing the long-sleeve Aloha Winter Shirt so can you keep your refined cool style even through Fall and Winter. This enduring vintage-style Aloha shirt features an exotic Hawaiian floral design, and at 100% cotton, it is carefully constructed to be lightweight and comfortable.
Aloha puts into one word the warm sense of greeting and love for which Hawaii is so well known. There is probably no better known garment that captures the island's «spirit of beauty», worn as a statement of love and appreciation. Born in Hawaii, Lightning Bolt embraces the spirit that keeps the Aloha shirts alive.

The Coconut Buttons
Nothing beats real coconut buttons on an ageless Aloha Shirt. Our Lightning Bolt Aloha Shirt features genuine organic coconut buttons which complete the authenticity and timelessness of the garment. These fine buttons are eco-friendly, perfectly sized, and durable enough to withstand the test of time.

The Original Collar
A defining characteristic of early Hawaiian Aloha shirts were collar loops at the neck. Back in the day, men liked to wear their Aloha shirts buttoned to the top. So we kept the fold over notched collar on our Aloha shirt to respect the original look.

Lightning Bolt is proud to present you with the Aloha Winter Shirt. Wear it with pride.

Fall Winter '13 Collection

Click here to see the Lightning Bolt Fall Winter '13 LookBook - Available Soon Online

Lightning Bolt is the mark of authenticity. It has been wholly invested in a true life of growth and passion since its birth in 1970s Hawaii. We here at Lightning Bolt believe in a certain man, one who is unafraid of the untouched frontier awaiting him, whose lifestyle is that which brings him alive. It is he who knows that the most important piece any man can bear is his very own streak of adventure all we are here to do is simply help him to finish the look.

That is why we are proud to present our Fall Winter collection for the year 2013. Once again any man can count on our buttery tri-blend fleeces, our timeless board shorts, incredibly engineered knits, and the finest and most functional wool and cashmere blends, as well a new frontier in the Aloha shirt. Our long-sleeve Winter Aloha shirt 100% cotton, with raw coconut buttons and a classic cut offers men a piece they can be proud to wear in any occasion while feeling relaxed and looking timeless.

Our colors and prints this year are born of 50s and 60s Hawaiian interiors. We have found the most inspiring palate of sun-beaten earth tones as well as fresh bright pops fused with materials that have the tangibility of a time unforgotten. Together with our impressive spread of layering cable knits, breathable wools, and our French goose down jackets, one can find comfort, function, and style for any adventure in any location.

In 2013 Lightning Bolt has pulled together the kind of on-going story of which men have already learned the early legends, yet they cannot wait to see which new direction it will take them. Watch closely as we continue to preserve the old World and shape the new.

A Pure Source,

Lightning Bolt

Spring Summer '13 Collection

Lightning Bolt Spring Summer '13 Collection

With 40 years of history, the spirit of aloha continues in Lightning Bolts Spring Summer 2013 Collection. Style has come and gone, but the stoke of the sand, the waves with the summer days & nights is never forgotten. Spring Summer 2013 embodies the natural progression of the lifestyle with natural earthy colors with bright primary tones of the ocean and the sun. Embracing our California landscapes, we find ourselves enjoying the best of times, in the tube or on the streets.

Good vibes. Good times.

Gerry at Pipe Sequence and words.

The drop at the Pipeline is even more intense than the tube ride that might come afterwards if everything goes right. The right attitude is the first necessity of a successful takeoff. Without a great degree of confidence even the most skillful may fall victim to the specter of the Pipeline’s reputation long before they even begin to paddle for a wave. Wave selection is, of course, another huge variable that comes into play because there are waves on any given day that are simply not meant to be ridden.

The surfers who are familiar with the break know when to get out of the way and just let those waves pass by. Positioning and timing are critical in just about any endeavor in life and more greatly magnified when trying to line up and catch a good wave at the Pipe. This photo is interesting for a number of reasons.

The drop looks in good shape, my edge is set, my foot placement good, my eyes looking at what’s up ahead. The wave in front masks the entire lower portion of the wave so its difficult to tell exactly how big the wave is but from the position of the two guys caught inside and paddling for their lives, it is definitely a set wave.

The one guy looks like he has made it over okay but is probably getting a look at the wave behind that might be bigger, in which case, the terrifying moments that comes from being here are not over. The other guy, depending on how hard he is paddling and it looks like he had a good head of steam if his wake behind is any indication, is right at that critical point where he either will penetrate the lip or he won’t.

I would have to say his degree of terror is even greater than his friend’s and there will be some heavy, weightless moments [nice oxymoron…] before his fate is decided. If he makes it through, there will be the next wave to deal with. If he doesn’t make it ….. well, looking at the straight line of the top of this wave means its a long wall of a very powerful Pipe wave as opposed to a more peak type wave. If the guy gets sucked back over the falls, it won’t be pretty. But these are some of the risks anyone who paddles out at the Pipeline expects to encounter so while they may hope for the best, its always prudent to plan for the worst … just in case.
