Showroom shot 1975


Frank is a photographer. He sent me this shot with no explanation. I'm guessing, Bennett Surfboards showroon, Pittwater rd Brookvale 1975 as Bennett made Lightning Bolts under licence.
I love the Klemm Bell diamond tail. It looks a lot like the board Dan is bringing to the surf swap on April 10th.

    I have a genuine Reno sunset gun that looks like the Bolt pictured here.
    I rode it a few times but that entire plan shape period was a dud....aweful to turn etc. Thats how I got it..Reno dumped it at my house as he didnt like it. I will post a pic...needs a bit of resto..then again maybe best left 'original'

    Good line up Damion - but don't you reckon its probably a little earlier than 75...? And pretty sure thats a gold coast "spirit of the sea" diamond tail next to the mccoy.
