Our Story

At Ride The Wave, we create casual, comfortable clothing with purpose. Every purchase not only gives you quality everyday wear but also supports Mental Health and Lung Cancer advocacy. Life brings challenges that can feel like wave after wave knocking you down—but we believe in learning to ride them and reminding each other that no one has to face them alone.

I’m Ashley Marra, the founder of Ride The Wave. This brand was born from my own experiences with mental health and my desire to break the stigma around it. While building it, my mom Sue was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer in November 2023 and sadly passed in May 2024. Honoring her is at the heart of everything I do. That’s why every product carries two ribbons: green for Mental Health Awareness and white for Lung Cancer Awareness. They represent the core of our mission—to create clothing that not only looks good but also carries meaning, resilience, and advocacy.
