Surfing

Rob Kaplan’s passion for building stuff, lead to the foundation of Dakine at Maui’s North Shore in 1979. His fellow surfers began turning to him with their gear problems – most often busted surf leashes. After repairing several leashes, he set out to make a new leash with bombproof materials and stitching. This new leash was the start of Dakine surf. Since then, we at Dakine have gained a lot of experience in the field of surf equipment and surfwear and have constantly developed it further in cooperation with professional surfers. We only use high-quality materials and focus on future-oriented technologies and innovative designs. At Dakine Europe you get the best equipment for a unique surfing or wave experience.

Dakine offers wetsuits with long arms and long legs, as well as short arms and short legs. They protect you from the cold and injuries. If water and air temperatures are warmer, a neoprene jacket, T-shirt and boardshorts that are comfortable and breathable will do.

Surf leashes

A surf leash is an important safety component when surfing as it connects you to your surfboard and prevents you from getting separated from your board. Usually attached to the surfer's ankle and to the back of a surfboard, it prevents you from being separated from your board, even in strong swells. Dakine has built its reputation for surfboard leashes and focuses on durability, performance and comfort with the Dakine surf leashes. There are different types of leashes to suit different wave conditions and surf sports.
