The Dakine Split rollers look wicked again this year…. Quality luggage that wont let you down.
Now if you are a snowboarder, then you need one of these in your life. The Dakine Heli pack is proabably the best piece of kit you will ever buy! Whether you are a boarder or skier the dakine heli pack is designed to fit (sounds silly but these guys mean it)! Lots of people say they don’t like riding with a pack but if you get one of these you wont even notice its there. Plus if you have had a few to many jager bombs the night before the hydration pack and insulated tube is ideal for rehydrating on the mountain.
My favourite of this year has to be this bright green number! Will look sweet against a contrasting jacket!
Dakine not only make the split roller and heli pack, they also do board bags, gloves, backpacks and if you ever out on the mountain anywhere you need a Dakine Torque driver.
This is probably the best tool you could buy for any skier, snowboarder, surfer, windsurfer or wakeboarder. These drivers are ideal and would make a great christmas stocking filler! Dads like em to!

Hardcloud have just taken delivery of a lot of Dakine Luggage. This got me thinking what is Dakine…. What does it mean and where does it come from.
We all know Dakine as the company has grown to become one of the largest luggage a accessories brands for lifestyle sports. Dakine now creates products for surf, skate, snow, windsurfing, kitesurfing and more.
So you are thinking why the strange title for this post….Do you know Dakine might be a bit more appropriate?
Pidgin is a type of Hawaiian dialect – also known as a Creole which is a language that is stable and has developed from a nativized language. In laymans – a mixture of English and Hawaiian. Dakine means ‘ the kind’ or ‘the best’ and it appears that Dakine has achieved this.

Its founder Rob Kaplin – first started making surfing leashes back in 1979 with the idea that products needed to be well tough and durable to withstand the strong Hawaiian surf. Quickly Dakine became well known on the islands and soon windsurfers asked the company to make straps and pads for their boards.
Dakine luggage was born after the company HQ moved to Hood River Oregan so they could be close to the water and the slopes. First came snowboard gloves and then the launch of the Dakine Helipack. A back country backpack. The success of this design it what we now see in the Dakine split rollers, EZ travellers.
