OUR FOUNDERS STORY
1984
Reef was founded in 1984 by two brothers from Argentina, Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, who wanted to share their love for surf travel and beach culture with the world.
1991
Inspired by the notoriously beautiful women of the beaches in South America, the brothers saw an opportunity to introduce the surf market to an exotic element that they called Miss Reef.
1999
On the 15th anniversary, the first Female sandal was born. The idea of bringing the best open footwear in the market wasn't anymore a priviledge of the boys.

Beach vibes means party mood on. The Fanning sandals take the best from the 3x time world Champion. Featuring a bottle opener in its outsole, these sandals have been the party starter at the beach since the first launch.
