In 1984, Dan established a clothing label for Insight Surfboards, which was then his elder brother Greg's surfboard label. The association developed with the opening of a surf shop at Bondi Beach with David Gyngell in 1985 and the design of curved surfboard fins. In 1987, he lived and surfed on Norfolk Island, which inspired his short story entitled Outer Island.
