ROB - Known as The Biscuit to his mates, founded Yakwax back in April 2002. This brought something to the Island that it dearly lacked… A surf shop that was actually run by a Surfer for Surfers. Since then Yakwax has grown in every way becoming the Islands No.1 for Quality Surf and Skate equipment at the best prices. Rob himself is a surf fanatic, making sure he finds time to get in the water every time the waves are good! His obsession of the sport has led him to travel the world, racking up passport stamps from Hawaii, Australia, Caribbean, Indonesia, Morocco and all of Europe. He is also probably the biggest workaholic you have ever met… so much so that he doesn’t own a TV as it would take away precious work time!
