The Lightning Bolt Maui Days, Two Dick Brewer Balsa Guns over 15′ and a BK Gun

Illustrator and artist Amadeo Bachar shared this photo of his Dad, Nino Bachar from the early 70′s with us. Nino ran the Maui Lightning Bolt Surfboards shop at the time and was good friends and roommates with Jack Shipley, who started Lightning Bolt in 1970 alongside Gerry Lopez. So good! Thanks
