Dakine Pulls out of Hood River and moves HQ to SoCal

Doesn't say exactly, but hints at Oregon not really making progress towards reopening. “The current health crisis, and the corresponding Oregon stay at home order were unforeseen"

Hahaha. The Sube will survive.

Bummer for the 40+ employees that got axed. Seems like it woulda been a dope gig esp if you were a kiter. Love that skatepark as well, one of the coolest designs with the tree in the middle. Their bags are top notch. Apparently they are making wetsuits now.

They were owned by Billabong a then spun to a number of private investment
firms. Pretty much sums it up right there. This is just the tip of the iceberg for
the future. Grim times ahead, boys. Time to duck dive deeper.
