Dakine

Dakine delivers Hawaiian ingenuity

In the 1970s, surfer Rob Kaplan was spending a lot of time on the Hawaiian island of Maui. During this time, he wasn’t just known for his talents on the surfboard. He was also known for his side hobby as an inventor. It wasn’t long before his fellow surfers started to reach out to him to see if he could repair their surf leashes.
It turns out that Rob could not only repair surf leashes — he also happened to be quite good at it. In fact, he was so good at repairing and making surf leashes that he decided to make his own. It was then that the company Dakine was born.
Fast forward to the 1980s. Dakine is already well-known for their surfing accessories, including foot straps and harnesses. Dakine has long since expanded beyond surfing. Today it offers multipurpose sports and travel equipment. This includes bags, gloves, hats, and more.

What makes Dakine bags so special?

If there is one product that Dakine is best known for today, it’s their bags. Dakine bags are not only fashionable but also wonderfully functional. Each Dakine bag is made with bomber materials and triple-stitching for maximum durability. Anyone with a love of the outdoors knows that the kind of gear you carry can make or break your experience.
Dakine bags come in sizes as large as 120L, although it’s also possible to find bags as small as 5L. Dakine carries a line of “hydration packs”, a special kind of backpack that has a water reservoir ...within its body. This reservoir can be detached and reattached in a matter of seconds, which makes it easy to fill it up or clean it out.
