NSSA Hawaii

Aunty Bobbi

Aunty Bobbi has been apart of the NSSA Ohana for over 25 year and has been Hawaii’s director for around 20 years. She became part of this family when her son started surfing NSSA, which at the time you had to qualify through the states ran by HSF.  After as few years Linda and Richard Robb decided to start the Hawaii conference. Aunty Bobbi happily help when needed and when they decided to retire they asked if she wanted to take it over. From that point on Aunty Bobbi has ran this successful program. Her main objective was to make sure Hawaii’s youth stayed in school and educated themselves so that they could be successful in anything they chose to do. She made many changes over the years and hope to continue helping the youth of Hawaii to fulfill their dreams of becoming a professional surfer.
