Dax Board Co. Introduces Bloom™ EVA Deck Pads to its Paddleboard Collection, Advancing Sustainable Design

June 10, 2025

South Lake Tahoe, Calif. – June 10, 2025 /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Dax Board Co., a premium paddleboard brand, is proud to announce its 2025 Dax Air and Dax Drifter Eco-Timber boards featuring Bloom™ EVA deck pads, advancing the brand’s commitment to sustainability. Built on over a decade of hands-on rental and retail experience, Dax creates thoughtfully designed paddleboards that cater to paddlers of all levels – from yoga flow on the water, cruising with friends, or carving out solo time in the wild.

“We’re big believers in the power of the wilderness to provide restorative energy when we adventure carefully and consciously,” said Jessica Miller, Dax Board Co. co-founder, who envisioned the brand after years of summers spent on the waters of Lake Tahoe.

Since 2020, the brand has expanded its product offering from one to five boards for a variety of water-bound pursuits. 2025 marks the first major design update to its flagship design, Dax Drifter, and the ultra-portable Dax Air.

Collection Updates

Dax Drifter Eco-Timber (MSRP $1099) combines performance, sustainability, and beautiful design. Lightweight and easy to carry, the Drifter’s ultra-light build ensures ease of entering and exiting the water and is the one board that fits pretty much everyone, for nearly all applications. Designed with a low rocker and high volume, the Drifter glides across calm waters with extra stability. Available in multiple sizes to fit every size and ability.

The 2025 editions of the Dax Drifter Eco-Timber and Dax Air now feature a Bloom™ Algae EVA deck pad, which uses algae-based materials to help reduce environmental harm by utilizing algae biomass that would otherwise pollute waterways. This innovative material provides the same comfort and durability as traditional EVA but with a much smaller ecological footprint.

Adding to the eco-friendly design, the Drifter features Paulownia wood, a fast-growing timber known for its strength and light weight. Paulownia wood regenerates from its own stump, making it one of the most renewable materials available. The wood brings natural beauty and durability to the board while further minimizing environmental impact.

The Dax Air Inflatable All Around (MSRP $499) is designed for family fun and easy paddling, it’s the perfect choice for beginners looking for a board that’s as versatile as it is easy to use and the board only weighs 19 pounds (35 pounds for the complete kit: carry bag, pump, board, paddle, leash and repair kit). Available in two lengths: 10’ 6” and 11’ 6”.

Built with MSL Fusion construction technology, the Dax Air is incredibly lightweight and exceptionally durable. This advanced construction method fuses a second layer of material to the board’s drop-stitch core, creating a single, solid layer that enhances the board’s strength and performance on the water. The result is a board that is stiff, stable, and responsive; ideal for smooth, beginner-friendly paddling.

The Dax Air also features eco-friendly plastic-free packaging and a Bloom™ EVA deck pad that provides comfort underfoot for those long days on the water. The soft surface makes it ideal for kids, pets, and those new to paddleboarding, while the durable materials ensure the board can withstand shoreline hazards and everyday wear and tear. It comes equipped with a valve on the nose, making it even easier to roll the board up and fit it back into the carry bag, ensuring hassle-free storage and transport every time.

The collection is rounded-out by a yoga-optimized Dax DownDog (MSRP $1099), the expedition-ready Dax Scout and Dax Scout Pro (MSRP $1299.99), Dax Air Oyster (MSRP $549.99) and Dax Dually (MSRP $599) which bears weight up to 400lbs and features multiple threaded inserts for accessories like fishing rod holders.

The brand was founded on a deep belief in nature’s restorative power and the importance of protecting it. Every detail reflects a commitment to conscious craftsmanship.

“Protecting the planet is our top priority,” said Brandon Miller, Dax Board Co. co-founder. “From using algae-based Bloom™ EVA deck pads and sustainable paulownia wood to plastic-free packaging, every decision is made with the goal of reducing our ecological footprint.”

For every board sold, Dax Board Co. plants 10 trees to help restore the ecosystems that inspire their products. With striking design, high-performance construction, and a 2-year warranty to back it all up, Dax Board Co. isn’t just selling boards; it’s inviting people to reconnect with the moment, the outdoors, and themselves.
