About

dortokai was born in the water.

Imagined in the Basque Country and inspired by the local surf culture, dortokai takes its name from Euskara, the Basque language — a quiet nod to where it all began, without labels or borders. Just good gear, made for people who love spending time in the water.

Why dortokai exists

As a rider, I kept running into the same problem: the gear I needed either didn't exist, or was too bulky, too expensive, or just not good looking enough to actually want to use it.

So I decided to build what I couldn't find: watersports gear that's simple, affordable and stylish — functional enough to perform, easy enough to wear every day.

What we make

Two products, born from the same frustration: gear that just didn't exist the way we needed it.

• Txapel — our bucket hat. Across watersports, your head takes a lot — sun, spray and the occasional knock — yet nothing lightweight, stylish and practical existed. So we built it, with a discreet certified rigid insert for extra peace of mind.
• Lotura — our foil leash. Most leashes are too long and end up in the foil, make knots and turn too short for takeoff, too heavy and drag in the water — we lost count of the waves missed by stepping on them before even getting started. Lotura fixes all of that.

Built by riders, for riders. Simple, affordable, and made to be used.

What makes dortokai different

• Certified where it counts — insert tested to EN 812, and we tell you exactly what that covers
• Fair pricing — no brand markup, no unnecessary extras
• Style matters — good gear doesn't have to be boring
• Built on the water — designed from real riding experience
• Looking forward — more gear coming for everything you ride

dortokai isn't about exclusivity.
It's about making good gear normal, cool and accessible.

One vision, one community

dortokai was born from one rider's frustration — but it grows with yours.

Every piece of feedback counts. Every improvement matters. The brand evolves with the people who use it, and that's exactly how we want it.
