RagDoll started with four friends from Humboldt County, California. Jude, Ty, Everett, and Gabby grew up on that rugged stretch of coast, learning to love the water and the tight-knit community around it. They built RagDoll as a way to stay connected no matter where life took them, and they poured those roots into everything they made.

In 2026, they passed the torch.

RagDoll is now carried forward by a Santa Barbara father-and-sons trio: Devin and his two boys, Liam and Luka. For us, this is a family venture in the truest sense. It's a way to work together on a shared passion, connect with our community, and keep the salt-and-community spirit the founders started with fully alive.

We didn't want to change what makes RagDoll special. We wanted to protect it and grow it. Same commitment to quality gear. Same love for paddling out, solo or with friends. Same belief that a local brand should give back to the place it calls home, which is why 20% of our profits go to organizations supporting Californian families without housing.

We're proud of the roots that guided us here, and just as stoked for where we're headed. Thanks for being part of it. See you in the water.
