2025 President's Message

It has been a meaningful 2025 for the Ron Jon family.  Our founder, Ron DiMenna, passed away this September at the age of 88.  With death always comes reflection on the achievements, meaningful relationships and legacy one leaves behind.  With Ron’s passing, we have all taken time to reflect on the 65 years since our company was founded and all the amazing achievements we have made on our journey.  :Ron knew in 1959 that all of us possess a connection to the beach and all it represents; warm lazy days, sunshine on our faces and sand beneath our toes.  In the noisy confusion of life, the beach offers a refuge where you can recharge your batteries, refocus your energy and create memories with the people you love.  This is always at the heart of what we do and what we hope our customers take home with them.

So as the future sits before us, we thank all the millions of customers that have been with us on our journey.  Your dedication and passion for our brand propels us forward.

To our Ron Jon team, thank you for all you do.  You are the heart and soul of our company, and I can’t wait to see what is yet to come.

I wish everyone a safe and happy New Year, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to the beach in 2026!  Surf’s up!

Cordially,
Michele Goodwin
President / Ron Jon Surf Shop
