Product Description

About DAKINE

Based in Hood River, Oregon, DAKINE was founded in Maui, Hawai'i in 1979 by longtime surfer, Rob Kaplan. DAKINE'S first product, a revolutionary new surf leash, quickly gained worldwide popularity. This first leash led to more surfing related products, built to withstand the punishing conditions of the surf on the north shore of Hawai'i. In Hawaiian slang, "Da Kine" means the best and the company has lived up to this standard through attention to detail, focus on accessories, and a notoriously thorough design process.

With its reputation for top quality products and attention to detail, DAKINE quickly grew beyond its surfing roots and has become the standard in board sports accessories for the top athletes in the worlds of snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding, mountain biking, windsurfing, and kiteboarding, as well as surfing.

To better serve the growing worldwide demand for DAKINE product, a factory and distribution center were opened in Hood River, Oregon in 1986 and the facility soon replaced operations on Maui's north shore to become the principal factory and point of distribution. DAKINE's Oregon location, in the heart of the Gorge and the base of Mount Hood--a hot spot with North American windsurfers and snowboarders--also helps the company maintain its competitive edge by giving the product development team a demanding new environment for developing and testing products. A testament to the standards and success of DAKINE product, the pro team roster reads like a who's-who of action sports.

Today, DAKINE offers a complete range of innovative products, including sport-specific and street-savvy backpacks, bags, travel gear, and accessories as well as a fashionable girl's bag collection. The company remains focused on building durable, innovative products of the best quality for the most demanding action sports athletes. The original quest led by a group of dedicated surfers has taken on a life of its own and has spread throughout all board sports. For 30 years, this passion has given DAKINE its longevity in the action sports industry and has personified its reputation for excellence.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice but has a couple flaws., December 25, 2011

I picked up this bag so that I could bring my skateboard on flights. As others have mentioned this bag is on the small side but it fits my Kindle, headphones and some snacks. it is the perfect size for my needs. The problem with this bag is that the top strap is too short to fit my Oso (Arbor) skateboard. When I carried another board in it I was very careful not to abrade the surface of the bag with my griptape when I put the board in. To my surprise, when I pulled the board out at the other end of my trip I found the surface of the bag showing moderate signs of wear and the stitching worn through. Being that this bag is designed to carry skateboards the surface facing the griptape needs to be re-enforced to prevent this type of premature wear. If it wasn't for the short strap and surface abrasion, this bag would get 5 stars from me. I posted images to show the issues.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but small., August 14, 2010

This is a good backpack, holds my skateboard pretty well, although putting it there, can rub against the fabric and kinda fray it.

It's pretty small. 2 pockets. Not enough, and because of the design, it doesn't hold as much as I would like it to (gets tight, especially in the front pocket).

The handle is thin too, harder to hold by when your bag weighs a lot.

Otherwise its a pretty good backpack. been using it for half a year. No tears, straps are padded, holds two drinks, and works out well for school life.

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT, January 7, 2012

Yes it is kinda small but its still a very good backpack. Great for school. Fits about 2 textbooks and a couple of notebooks. I have my phone, 2 ipods, mp3 player, cellphone, 3 pairs of earbuds, headphones, textbook, sketch book, composition notebook, 2 five subject notebooks, and my hat and chargers. So it holds a decent amount due to its size.
