Dakine is an American outdoor clothing company specializing in sportswear and sports equipment for adventure sports. Founded in Hawaii, the name comes from the Hawaiian Pidgin phrase "da kine" (derived from "the kind"). While based in Hood River, Oregon (products are manufactured overseas), the company also sponsors athletes from the lifestyle and sporting fields of skiing,[1] snowboarding,[2] mountain biking,[3] surfing,[4] windsurfing,[5] kiteboarding,[6] and skateboarding.[7] The company has since abandoned operations in Oregon and moved its headquarters to Torrance, California.[8]
