Few people have influenced the way disc golf is played quite like Dave Dunipace.
In Episode 8 of Out Of Production, Nate Doss and Terry Miller sit down with the co-founder of Innova Champion Discs to hear the story behind one of the sport’s most influential innovators. Dave takes us from discovering Frisbee as a kid in Southern California and competing in nearly every sport he could find, to discovering disc golf at La Mirada and becoming obsessed with figuring out how discs could fly farther and perform better.
That curiosity eventually led to the creation of the Eagle, the founding of Innova, and a new generation of golf discs that helped change the game forever. Along the way, Dave shares stories about those early prototypes, building a company from the ground up, the people who helped make it possible, and the ideas that have kept him experimenting for decades.
This is more than the story of a disc manufacturer. It’s the story of a competitor, inventor, and lifelong problem solver whose ideas helped shape modern disc golf.
This is the story of Dave Dunipace, in his own words.
