Founded in 1979 on the North Shore of Maui, Dakine (an expression of the Hawaiian “Da Kine”) was born from a need for gear that could survive the world’s most powerful surf. From those original surf leashes, the brand migrated to the peaks of the Pacific Northwest, bringing that same “over-built” philosophy to snowboarding, mountain biking, and travel. Dakine isn’t about the flashy or the fragile; it’s about gear that works when the conditions are at their worst. Whether it’s the legendary Helipro backpack or their bombproof bike park jerseys, Dakine is the trusted choice for riders who play hard and expect their gear to keep up.
