Dakine was founded in 1979 on Maui’s North Shore and later moved to Hood River, Oregon, where it continues to craft high-performance gear for adventure seekers around the world. What began with a single surf leash evolved into a legacy of innovation spanning backpacks, outerwear, travel bags, and technical accessories for surfing, snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, and more. Rooted in craftsmanship, problem-solving, and a deep connection to outdoor culture, Dakine’s products are born from real experiences on the mountain and in the water. Every design reflects a commitment to durability, creativity, and the spirit of exploration; built by and for those who live to ride, travel, and push their limits.
