See us for who we are
Our Story
Being outdoors and enjoying the things we do usually means Mr Sunshine is there with us. So when he is, we want to be able to surf, ride, skate or just explore the wonderful world we live in relative safety, and that’s why Ridr Optics was born.
Our Mission
Ridr Optics was created with the simple principle that great quality eyewear shouldn’t have to be expensive. Our goal is to provide great products that will keep you doing the things you love.
We want you to join us on our journey and be your eyewear brand of choice whether you surf oceans or mountains, ride trails or parks, or just go exploring in the great outdoors.
Here’s the team behind Ridr and a little about who we are. See us.
