Our History

Ritz Kracker whips was started in 2012 on a whim. Ritz was working on some new tricks and cracks for his show and wanted new whips. He was tired of waiting for other whip makers to finish his orders or even find one that would not quote over a year to get a whip. “I can do this” a little research online and two days later Ritz was plaiting his first whip in his garage. Ritz only made stock whips to start. The first year he made ten whips. The next year over 60. By year three Ritz completed over 180 whips. Reaching his goal of 250 completed whips. Four years later Ritz produces 7 different types of whips from 2ft. to 40ft. Ritz Kracker Whips has shipped whips all over the USA and 5 countries.
