Dakine is expanding its wind product offering with the addition of hardgoods, including the new Cyclone Wing, Chase Wind Board and Charger Foil Kit.
Dakine has been a manufacturer of wind and wave sports accessories since it introduced its adjustable windsurfing foot strap in 1980. Looking to expand its product line, the company partnered with Cabrinha in early 2021, allowing the brand to design, develop and launch new products that build on Dakine’s original product offering.
“Once our partnership kicked off last winter, we immediately began to implement Dakine into Cab Design Works to create new products while staying true to Dakine’s core principles of quality, innovation and rider-driven passion,” said Dakine Wind’s brand manager, Brent Beringhaus. “After over four decades of building durable and trusted accessories, we’re excited to have Dakine entering the wind hardgoods market, using the trusted engineers and designers from the Cab Design Works team to produce trusted and premium products to outfit you on the water.”
The Cyclone Wing has a stable drift when on a wave or going downwind, while the rigid design allows for quick motion, possible with the Nano Ripstop canopy, which delivers twice the durability, strength, and performance at the same weight as a traditional canopy material. The wing comes in several sizes for a wide range of riders.
The Chase Wind Board has kneeling or standing starts and a double concave in the nose to reduce suction and provide easy take-off or recovery. The board pairs with the Charger Foil Kit with high lift, medium aspect foils suited for foil surfing, kite foiling and wing foiling. The carbon wings offer stiffness and control, while the forward draft profile of the front wing delivers a stable and predictable lift. Available in three sizes, each kit includes a front wing, mast, fuselages, rear wings, and all hardware.
Additional products from the Summer 2022 collection include the Control Binding, Fly Wing Harness, and Foil Board Floating Leash. For more product information, go here.
