Bob Biniak (b. 1958 in Chicago, U.S.) is a surfer, a Skater, and professional golfer.

He was born in Chicago, but moved as a baby with his family to the beaches of Santa Monica. Since childhood, he hasn't lived a day more than six blocks from the ocean. At age 12, Biniak began surfing and skating, and joined the Zephyr Team shortly thereafter. Biniak's speedy skateboarding earned him the nickname "Bullet" from his teammates. After the Zephyr team dispersed, Biniak skated for Sims and Logan Earth Ski. Many people believe Tony Alva, Jay Adams and Stacy Peralta controlled the D-Town scene, but Bob Biniak claims it was just him and Tony.He went on to study at Mission College, where he began his career in golf, touring professionally throughout Florida, California and Europe. After seven years of playing, Biniak put away his clubs and moved into the business world. He began a company exporting golf equipment to Japan. He now heads BB Sports and Apparel. Biniak lives with his wife in Malibu, California. He plays golf, goes flyfishing and surfs frequently, using Jeff Ho-designed surfboards. He hasn't skated since 1980.
