Here’s how destiny would describe it:JEFF'S STORY
Although born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, Jeff’s family would take off for two weeks every summer to escape the Arizona heat and head for the beautiful weather of San Diego. This is where Jeff’s surfing all began. Who knew that a trip to the Oceanside swap meet and $75 worth of lawn mowing money would lead to Jeff purchasing his first surfboard? The board was a Surfboards Hawaii and was neon green with glassed on thrusters and channels. From the very first wave at Oceanside pier Jeff knew he was hooked. Jeff spent his time away from the ocean riding skateboards and surfing behind the boat at the local lakes on his surfboard and then the original Skurfer wake board. Jeff knew from an early age that he loved the water and that the ocean was his calling, so from the moment he graduated college he packed his bags and moved to Los Angeles.LACEY'S STORY
Lacey was born and raised in Santa Barbara, CA. She grew up spending countless hours camping and hanging out on the beautiful undeveloped Southern California coastline. Gaviota, Refugio, El Cap and Pismo are still her favorite places; the smell of sunscreen takes her back to those days spent on the beach. When Lacey was in high school, a family move relocated her to Nevada. Being a true California Girl, Lacey returned to Southern California the moment she turned 18.COMING TOGETHER
RIDER SHACK was now in the pipeline, the stars just needed to align. This happened on May 16th, 2004 when Lacey decided to attend a barbeque in Venice hosted by Jeff. This would also be the first time Lacey would come to know Jeff’s alter ego Vince Ryder. After a great sunny afternoon and a little too much tequila Jeff and Lacey hit things off and one thing lead to another. Unfulfilled with their current jobs, Lacey was working for a staffing agency and Jeff was the owner of an entertainment company, the two decided to start their own business. As a result RIDER SHACK was founded, a business that makes them excited to wake up in the morning, a business they really believe in.OUR MISSION
