An Evening with
Bob McKnight and
Greg MacGillivray - SOLD OUT 
Join us Thursday, March 18th for an illuminating evening as we dive
into the surf culture with two pioneers who helped introduce the sport
to new audiences throughout the world. Bob McKnight, co-founder of
Quiksilver, Inc., and IMAX filmmaker Greg MacGillivray, co-founder of
MacGillivray Freeman Films, will take us on a journey from their early
days of filming surf movies to the multi-billion dollar sport it has become.
Bob McKnight has turned his passion for surfing into a $2.5 billion
company by creating Quiksilver, Inc., one of the world’s strongest
lifestyle brands. Quiksilver, Inc. was the first boardriding company
to break through a billion dollars in revenue, provide 100%
sponsorship to its surfers, and the first to create a multi-media
entertainment portal. Bob will discuss his early adventures in
filming surf movies and how it inspired him to launch the board
sports lifestyle.
 Greg MacGillivray is internationally known for producing some
of the most popular IMAX films in the history of filmmaking, like
Everest, The Living Sea, and Coral Reef Adventure, however he got
his start by making surf films such as Free and Easy and Five
Summer Stories. In his upcoming film, Greg re-visits his roots
by filming a documentary of Hollywood's relationship
with the surfing industry.
Join Bob and Greg as they talk about their passion for
surfing, show image and film clips, and discuss how they
successfully drew international attention to a sport that
was mainly limited to coastal regions.
