ALOHA NORTH SHORE, here we gooo

If Hawaii didn’t exist, for sure Surf wouldn’t be the same. That’s where everything started and that’s the place where surf is as powerful as a religion. But also, if Hawaii didn’t exist, Lightning Bolt, as we know it today, would be only a mirage. That’s where it all started in 1971 with Gerry Lopez and Jack Shipley.

And now the great news:

To start the year onfire, our European riders are meeting the USA team in Hawaii to surf the North Shore during two weeks, but also to shoot the Spring Summer 10 Catalogue.

The European Crew includes the new team riders, Txaber Trojaola (Spain), Jeremy Brasset (France), Jord Fortmann (Holland), and also the Portuguese David Raimundo, Pedro Soares and Alexandre Ferreira.

We are meeting the Pipeline Master Rory Russell, the USA brand manager Jonathan Paskowitz, the surfer and songwriter Dustin Franks and the new Hawaiian team riders.

Regarding the models, the girls, well.., we’re not going to open the book now. If you want to know who are the beautiful babes wearing our new beachwear, you must stay tuned here, as we will post some photos and videos during the trip.

If Tangaroa, Neptune and Poseidon help, we can promise you amazing surf, beautiful action shots, some great parties and lots of fun.

To check it for yourself, visit our blog between the 6^th and the 18^th of January.

Bolt Magazine – The third issue – Printed and online version

The third Bolt Magazine issue is now ready and already flying to reach all the surfshops in Europe where we sell our products.
In this issue we highlight our team riders surftrip to Nicaragua, where they surfed the big waves of Iguana beach and Popoyo in the pacific coast.
Also great are the Autumn-Winter pictures, taken in the southwest coast of Portugal (Costa Vicentina) and in one of the best portuguese surf spots, Guincho, close to Lisbon.

In California we interviewed Dustin Franks, the charimastic soul surfer and songwriter and now our ambassador in USA.
We still got time to hear some stories of Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz, the famous American surfer who follows a very unconventional, even polemic for some, way of living, and in Portugal we were lucky to photograph the charming Rita Andrade.
Don’t miss also the new french team rider profile, Jeremy “Jeje” Brasset and lots of other news that are describing the Bolt track in the last semester.
This issue is free and will be available in all the shops that sell Lightning Bolt products.
