Plate Lunch Collection

The Plate Lunch x Dakine Collection is a celebration of Aloha, with mac salad and two scoops of rice on the side. Born and raised on the North Shore of Maui, Plate Lunch is inspired by the beauty of Hawaii and its rich heritage and culture.

We partnered with founders Gregg and Cory Kaplan in creating a collection of products influenced by backyard skate spots, waves with the boys, and hand-crafted radness.
