Rob DAKINE was born in 1979 when Rob Kaplan begins manufacturing the Da Kine Leash in Haiku, Maui, Hawaii. Maui's reputation for great wave conditions is the catalyst for this location. The DAKINE surf leash is designed for rigorous Hawaiian conditions and sets the standard for innovative design and high quality. In Rob's words, "it was the first leash that you could pull a car with!" In 25 year to come Da Kine would manufacture footstraps for windsurfboards, seat and waist harnesses and ultra durable board bags for globetrotting pros travelling around the world. In 1989 DAKINE first commits to the snowboard market with board accessories, board bags, and gear bags.
