BOB MCKNIGHT

When surfer Bob McKnight began building the surf clothing business “Quiksilver”, it was only supposed to be a two-year project. His plan was just to keep surfing as much as possible, sell some surf shorts and have some fun.

“Whether you’re young or old, male or female, it’s the same thing. It’s that, that thrill of the first ride. And once it gets under your skin, you can never stop.”
