Meet the Crew

Hop
40+ ex telecomms geek and money man who set up a skate shop in the mistaken belief
that it might extol him with some kind of kudos, occasionally walks down from his real life up the road as an IT company owner and family man to live the dream (some what delusional) of having his own skate shop.

Robbo
Residing somewhere in his 30's (early or late depending on head
attire), Robbo is the engine room of the Hopshop, idolised by massive fan base of groms after years of working and
living in the skate industry. There was once a rumor Robbo was seen outside of the Hopshop, but its commonly known by the local groms that he lives at the shop

Baz
Certified ancient, Spent most of his life riding the big waves in Hawaii and running surf companies. Now more commonly seen in guru status cruising the east-side solo on his longboard in the late of night or dishing out wisdom at the local bus stop.

Jacko
Just turned 21, rarely spotted without either food or recent video of self. When he's not racing World Cup Downhill events or freeriding large mountains in weird foreign places he somehow finds time to come to the shop, we
are always grateful when he can spare us the time.

Cooper
Only 15 and yet his mature attitude could have you believe he is nearly 6
months older than that. One of Australia's most talented juniors, Coop is currently completing a guru apprenticeship with Robbo and living the grom dream of working at a skateshop
