Landlocked but Chasing Waves
Surf apparel born on the Carolina coast, now riding out of the Oklahoma plains. Salt in the veins, dirt on the boots.
Our Story
From the Sand to the Plains
Whale Rider started in 2009 hand-printing surf tees a few blocks from the Wilmington, North Carolina shoreline. Life carried us landlocked to Oklahoma, but the coastal passion never left. Every tee, tail, and trucker cap we make still carries the coast — salt in the veins, dirt on the boots.
Carry the coast.
