Reef Builder: Built for those who Rebuild the Sea
Introducing the Hook Optics Reef Builder, a style born from innovation and named by the legendary Captain Monty Hawkins. Captain Monty, founder of the OC Reef Foundation, has devoted his life to strengthening marine ecosystems, building reefs that bring life back to the ocean, and giving generations of anglers a thriving future offshore. This frame honors his mission.
Why We Named It Reef Builder
The name reflects resilience, passion, and purposeful work. The Reef Builder represents the fearless teams who spend long days offshore rebuilding habitats, restoring fisheries, and creating a brighter future beneath the waves.
This frame is our tribute to Captain Monty and every individual working tirelessly to protect and regenerate our coastal waters. When you wear the Reef Builder, you carry a piece of their mission and their unstoppable spirit.
Made in America, Built for Harsh Conditions
Proudly made in the USA, the Reef Builder is crafted from aerospace-grade nylon for superior strength and durability. The zero-waste manufacturing process ensures every piece of material is repurposed, minimizing impact while maximizing performance. Just like the crews it honors, this frame is rugged, purpose-driven, and built for the long haul.
