Meet Our Team
We started Dax Board Co. because we saw a need for beautifully designed, lightweight, and stable paddle boards that could elevate the paddleboarding experience and allow people to step away from their hectic lives and into nature.
Our adventure began in Kauai, but we dreamt of summers in Lake Tahoe with Jessica's family and recognized the growing potential of stand-up paddleboarding. Brandon's extensive experience in the kayak rental business gave us the confidence to create something special. We opened our retail store in Lake Tahoe in 2012 and since then have been perfecting a paddle board that incorporates all of the missing pieces we've discovered in 12 years of renting and selling other brands. We found most boards lacking—either too heavy, unstable, or visually unappealing. So, we decided to shake things up.
Our mission? To craft paddle boards that are simple, modern, and sustainable. We believe paddleboarding is a fantastic way to connect with nature, and our products reflect our commitment to preserving the environment that makes these adventures so magical. At Dax, we want you to break free from the daily grind and reconnect with nature. Whether you’re paddling solo, with friends, or making memories with family, our boards are designed to help you explore, restore, and enjoy the present moment.
Paddle on,
Jessica & Brandon
