OUR FOUNDER
Reif Myers
Founded in 2007 by a 15-year-old Reif Myers, Ocean Zone started as a school project and evolved into a well-loved Australian brand, known for its vibrant, beach-inspired boardshorts.
Born in Maui to an artist mother and surfer father, Reif then grew up by the beach in Perth, developing a love for both art and surf culture. His childhood experiences fuelled his creativity and laid the foundation for Ocean Zone.
Today, Reif balances his time between designing for Ocean Zone and his career as a full-time artist, with his work exhibited in Dubai, London, and Fremantle and featured in various art magazines. Reif’s artwork features prominently in Ocean Zone’s latest collections, embodying the bright, beachy vibe that defines the brand.
For Reif, Ocean Zone is more than just a clothing brand—it’s an embodiment of the lifestyle he loves, rooted in the freedom of self-expression and doing what brings him joy. His entrepreneurial spirit drives him to create not only for himself but also to inspire others.
After a period of exploration and creativity, during which Reif focused on building his villa in Bali and further developing his artistic leanings, Ocean Zone is undergoing a revitalisation. With renewed vision, we're excited to reintroduce classic designs while tapping into Reif’s creative vein to deliver fresh and innovative collections.
