Making Waves ~ The Ron Jon Story

It was 1959 and on the New Jersey shore a bright young man names Ron DiMenna was just discovering the sport of surfing with fiberglass surfboards. The pastime soon became a passion and homemade surfboards would no longer do.When his father heard that Ron wanted his own custom surfboard from California, he suggested, “Buy three, sell two at a profit, then yours will be free.” Dad was right and Ron Jon Surf Shop was born.

“The Original” Ron Jon Surf Shop opened in Long Beach Island, New Jersey in 1961. Ron sold surfboards out of a tiny Jersey shore shop and supplied former customers with boards to open their own shops on the East Coast. He headed to Florida two years later and opened the “One of a Kind” Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach, and sold even more.
