Dakine Surf Gear & Bags - Online UK Store
Dakine was founded in Maui, Hawaii in 1979. The company is now situated at the foot of Mt. Hood in Hood River, Oregon. They are known for producing bags, backpacks, travel bags, apparel and accessories for sporty individuals who love to surf, mountain bike, snowboard, skateboard, ski, kiteboard, windsurf and travel. Even if you're not an athletic person, you may find Dakine's products stylish, interesting and quite functional.
History of Dakine
In 1979, Maui's North Shore became the birthplace of Dakine. Avid surfer and tinkerer, Rob Kaplan, was the go-to guy of fellow surfers with gear problems, mainly broken surf leashes. He repaired numerous leashes and wanted to create a new type of leash with proper stitching and durable enough to withstand the elements.
Dakine introduced to the market an adjustable foot strap for windsurfing in 1980, followed by a waist harness and a range of travel bags in 1982. In 1983, the first seat harness and now omnipresent thermo-moulded waist harness were produced. With such innovations in windsurfing equipment, riders are able to sail faster, jump higher and shred in more challenging conditions. These innovations cemented Dakine's reputation as one of the sport's most trusted brands.
In 1986, Hood River became the centre of windsurfing and Dakine moved its headquarters there, but kept a strong presence in Maui. Snowboarders and skiers from across the globe train in Hood River during summer, so it wasn't long when one of the snowboarders went in the company's office to request for an 'essentials-only' pack that he can take during his heli trips to Alaska. That special request turned out to be one of those iconic products - the Dakine Heli Pack.
The Hood River is such a favourite among extreme sports athletes and they congregate in the area for adventures and sports activities all year-round. Around 2005, the area had become a legit mountain bike destination - bringing in new and old friends with special requests to solve their biking gear problems.
