Dafin was developed by Andy Cochran, an Australian who has lived in Hawaii for 28 years. Cochran was a lifeguard on Australia's famous Bondi Beach and was one of the pioneers of surflifesaving in Australia.

With the help of world-famous Hawaiian lifeguards like Mark Cunningham and Brian Keaulana, Cochran has developed a high-performance fin. Dafin combines the comfort of a shoe and an innovative shape to create a unique fin, highly effective in the most extreme conditions.

10 years ago Dafin obtained a US patent for its unique design. The “Hawaiian Lifeguard Association” has validated and approved Dafin fins on its rescue team for the past 8 years.

Dafin is the number 1 choice of rescue teams, bodysurfers and the best watermen in the world. This fin is a reference for more than 40 municipalities and rescue organizations in the United States.

Naturally Dafin Europe distributes this indispensable product for the panoply of the waterman. The company also manufactures the Palm Kicks, a bodyboard model developed by Cochran and Hawaiian Aka Lyman, the legendary bodyboarder.
