Dakine is an American outdoor clothing company specializing in sportswear and sports equipment for alternative sports.

Now based in Oregon (products are made in China), the company also sponsors team riders from the lifestyle and sporting fields of skiing,[1] biking,[2] windsurfing,[3] kiting,[4] snowboarding,[5] surfing,[6] and skateboarding.[7]
