From the waters to the mountains, DAKINE creates gear you can trust for the ride of your life.

In 1979, Rob Kaplan started making surf foot ropes in Hawaii so that his friends could surf bigger waves. From here, DAKINE carefully built the brand’s reputation. Created, tested, damaged, improved, tested again – each product has been honed in this way and has remained consistent for over 40 years.

DAKINE products include backpacks bags, gloves, accessories and apparel.
