DAKINE Unveils Recycled Surf Packs: Oceana & Recon

Posted in News, Surfing by Jason Mitchell - 07.21.2008

DAKINE is supporting Project Blue for 2009 with a couple of recycled and eco-friendly surf packs. The men’s Recon and women’s Oceana packs are a perfect way to haul around your surf gear while supporting sustainable products and efforts to preserve the world’s oceans waves and beaches. On sale in January 2009, these Project Blue surf packs are dialed with some great features.

Construction of the packs consists of 100% Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) fabric made from recycled plastic bottles. All buckles come from 100% recycled materials and non-toxic Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) is used as the waterproof fabric backing. Wow… that’s a mouthful!

Not only are these backpacks waterproof, but they are environmentally-friendly in their design and highly functional for a day at the beach to boot!

As mentioned above, $2 from the sale of every Project Blue backpack will be donated to the Surfrider Foundation.

Features of the Project Blue Oceana and Recon Backpacks

  • Seam-sealed wetsuit pocket
  • Insulated cooler pocket
  • Organizer pocket
  • Use of recycled fabric throughout
  • MSRP: Oceana – $75 / Recon – $70

    that’s very cool — I hope it’s successful for them, and they add more high-end models to the line.
