NewslettersBarefoot Bubba's owners open downtown store, plan 2 surf shops
The owners of Barefoot Bubba’s at 2135 Sea Island Parkway on St. Helena Island have opened another beachwear business of the same name in downtown Beaufort, and they plan to open two high-end surf shops in the near future.
Brothers Tony and Eddie Yahav this week opened a new Barefoot Bubba’s at 722 Bay St., formerly the site of Picket Fence, a women’s apparel and cottage furnishings store. The Barefoot Bubba’s businesses are officially licensed to carry the “Life is good” brand.
The Yahavs also plan to open two Islands Surf shops, which will carry, among others, Quiksilver and Billabong products. The first store, at 2137 Sea Island Parkway, is expected to open in about three weeks. Another Islands Surf is expected to open in mid-May at 808 Sea Island Parkway.

Surf??? In beaufort? Oh wait..surf?? On Hunting Island?
LOL.
That is comical. What, do these surfers plan on surfing the maybe 4ft occasional waves we get on really windy days?
Ive lived here for over 22 years and I have ONCE seen waves that were big enough to surf..and that was while a hurricane was out in the ocean.
But then again, this IS beaufort we are talking about here, and what beaufort "surfers" call surf...is nothing compared to REAL surf.

good point!!
I know a lot of good surfers from here. Most don't live here now, but when they come home we alway treck out to where they first learned to ride. We all had to start somewhere. And we do know what good waves look like, we travel :)
but hey, I thought it was weird when they brought in a giant wall for people to climb and our biggest hill is the dip on church
