What started with a simple insight has become a full blown category.
Traveling is a big part of skateboarding, but it was never easy - until now. Skaters have had it tough - from battling with multiple bags to not being taken seriously at check-in - so we decided to do something about that. The Db Skate Duffel Bag allows skaters to carry everything they need - a complete board, extra decks and other essentials - in one sleek, stylish bag.
Why Skate?
At Db we simplify travel through clever design. We did it for Surf, we did it for Snow and we did it for Photography. Skate has been on our radar for a while, but we took our time to gather the right resources to help us move into this space.
Over a chance conversation around photography with Ashley Rehfeld, a key figure in the Nike Skate program, we struck a common bond over the need for better language and bags for skateboarding. By the end of the call she’d convinced us to start prototypes and before we knew it we had a new, exciting category to the Db name. Ashley has the blueprint to the industry and we’re incredibly lucky to have her on board as an advisor.
Db Skate is about progression and we’ll continue to listen to the community to build for the future. Say hello to the new standard in Skate travel.

Sarah is known for her clean, stylish and timeless skateboarding. While attending the famous high school, Bryggeriet, in Malmo, Sweden, she was exposed to the city’s culture of creativity. She’s different to your typical skater - equally as obsessed with her camera as she is with her board. She’s about self expression in all its forms - whether that’s through photography, editorial work or skateboarding. Sarah is a pioneer for women in the skate community and the perfect fit for Db.
