I was talking about this with one of my friends the other day, like,
is Dakine said "Day-kin", "Da-keen" or "Duh-kine".
Is Orage said "O-rayge" or "O-rage", or even "O-ra-hay"
ON3P, is it "O-N-three-P, "On-threep", or "One-three-pee"?

It doesnt matter too much, but Im just curious

Orage is the French word for storm, so it is pronounced "orr-ojj"

All industry people I've heard say dynastar pronounce it dee na star. ..I still die na star.

Also, how do some of you figure dakine is pronounced da keen?? do you know how to read? Quick lesson: "e" at the end of the word makes the vowel say it's name. Therefore, the "i" is pronounced as "eye" and not "ee". SO the correct pronunciation must be duh kine.

hahaha, I remember going into a shop and asking for a "gy-roh" g10mx helmet and getting a weird look from the sales rep.

I felt pretty dumb for the next hour or so.
