The Story Behind The Wave
Boxing Day 2004, Gareth, the founder of Wave Search was staying on the National Marine Park, Koh Surin off the Andaman coast of Thailand. That fateful morning, following a huge earthquake in Indonesia, a Tsunami swept through the region killing thousands of people.
Koh Surin was hit hard by the Tsunami and despite being washed away in the waves, Gareth and wife Annie managed to survive against all odds.
11 years later, when Gareth and Annie founded the company, they named it Wave, in memory of this life changing event. Wave represents the resilience and spirit it takes to build something from the ground up, even in the most challenging times.
