dakine
Founded in Hawaii in 1979 and located at the base of Mt. Hood in Oregon, Dakine builds backpacks, travel bags, accessories, outerwear and clothing for people who love to surf, windsurf, kiteboard and travel.
Dakine got its start on Maui’s North Shore in 1979. Rob Kaplan was a surfer first, but he was also a tinkerer who loved building stuff. Word got out, and soon fellow surfers began turning to him with their gear problems—most often busted surf leashes. After repairing enough leashes, he set out to make a new leash with the kind of bombproof materials and stitching only someone who’s lost a board to the rocks would know how to make.
