| In 1979, Rob Kaplan
begins manufacturing the Da Kine Leash in Haiku, Maui,
Hawaii. The DAKINE surf leash is designed for rigorous
Hawaiian conditions and sets DAKINE's standard for
innovative design and high quality. In 1980, Pro
windsurfers ask Rob to help build footstraps for their
new wave boards. In 1981-84, DAKINE developed the 1st
adjustable footstrap, seat harness, and waist harness
defining the company as the leading innovator in
technical windsurfing accessories. In 1989, DAKINE first
commits to the snowboard market with board accessories,
board bags, and gear bags. The company would become the
world leader in this market over the next 15 years. In
1996, DAKINE introduces the Heli Pack, which creates the
new category of minimalist technical backcountry day
packs. In 1998, DAKINE introduces the Heli Pro backpack.
In a short time, the Heli Pro becomes the standard for
technical daypacks and the sport's best selling (and
most copied) model. In 2004, DAKINE celebrated its 25th
Anniversary! DAKINE prides itself on developing products
for the top professionals in every board sport. DAKINE
has built a reputation for innovation and quality for
over a quarter of a century! |
| Customer Testimonial
I
am one of your repeat customers. I am not sure how many
shoes I have purchased from you but you are my only
source for new shoes of any type. I am always surprised
by how quickly you process each request, it is always
correct and you graciously honor your money back
guarantee. I do not know why anyone would want to buy
anywhere else. You also have the hard to find items, the
extra wide shoes, the variety of every shoe, boot and
sandal. It is great to have a source for shopping
without fear of anything. I recommend you to everyone I
know
