Description

HOLY GRAIL ALERT!    MUSEUM QUALITY!   EXTREMELY DESIRABLE AND COLLECTABLE!

A HAND SHAPED LIGHTNING BOLT PIPELINER GUN BY THE LEGENDARY GERRY LOPEZ!

Holy poppin' snot!  You are viewing a board made for the heaviest waves the North Shore can produce, PIPELINE.  This gorgeous spear of a surfboard is all white throughout with multi color lightning bolts on the rails, red-orange-yellow-green-blue, and a huge one on the bottom of the board with matching colors.  Simply breath taking.  It has a swallow tail with a single glassed on red fin.  “Of all the surfers who rode lightning bolts, Gerry Lopez was certainly the most famous – he appeared in just about every surf movie and magazine from the early 70’s”.  Quoted in the book “The Ultimate Guide to Vintage Surfboards”.    One just sold a few months ago for $15k, so we think our Pre Auction estimate is quite conservative and right on the money.  This board was originally owned by Ted Wilson who is the owner of Fiber Glass Hawaii.  Oh, by the way, did we tell you this bad boy is up at NO RESERVE!!!  Don’t let this piece of classic history get away.
