Dock Inflatable BLISS Compact
Program
The BLISS (Ballast Lock Inflatable Stabilized Station) is a ballasted, self-stabilizing floating platform specifically designed for dockstarting on a foil.
Overview
This is the dockstart game changer that frees you from any infrastructure.
BLISS removes the biggest limitation in pumping: having to rely on a dock, a rock, special permissions, a complicated beach start, or any other launch setup.
The idea is simple: bring your perfect dock with you, wherever you go.
Arrive at the spot, unroll it, inflate it at 15 PSI with an electric pump in just 5 minutes, strap on the ballast, place it in the water, open the ballast chamber like a manta ray’s mouth, fill it as you gently move it through the water, close it, drop the anchor, and you're ready to ride.
No need to overinflate it or tie it down excessively: BLISS is incredibly stable. Running on it feels remarkably close to running on solid ground.
The problem with conventional floating platforms is their lack of inertia. Anyone who has tried launching from a paddleboard or floating platform knows the feeling: it's frustrating, inefficient, and sometimes even sketchy. The platform moves under your feet, slides backward, absorbs your energy, and completely disrupts the take-off.
The result? Efficient dockstarts become nearly impossible.
That's exactly the problem BLISS was designed to solve.
Its inertial ballast, holding hundreds of liters of water, stabilizes the platform deep below the surface.
It virtually eliminates unwanted movement, stays planted during the run-up, and allows you to transfer maximum energy directly into the foil as you jump cleanly onto your board.
The difference is immediate: your approach is smooth, your timing is consistent, and take-off becomes instinctive again.
Every detail has been optimized for dockstarting:
- The platform height positions the rider at the ideal level relative to the mast thanks to its double-layer dropstitch construction. The drop is perfectly tuned to engage the foil naturally and effortlessly while remaining low enough for easy reboarding. Getting back onto the platform from the water is smooth and intuitive.
- The asymmetric design creates a dedicated launch side and a separate landing and reboarding side. Nothing interferes with your approach or launch. The ballast, straps, and anchor points are all located on a dedicated side, leaving the running lane completely clear.
- The ballast system is simple, fast, and reliable. It fills directly in the water, drains easily, and seals by rolling closed like a dry bag. Full-length compression straps ensure even support and efficient weight distribution throughout the platform.
Once deployed, the platform is stable, predictable, and confidence-inspiring. You can focus entirely on your run-up without thinking about your footing.
Built with double-layer dropstitch construction, BLISS remains naturally forgiving in the event of a fall and poses no risk to your foil or equipment. Combined with the full EVA deck pad, comfort and grip are guaranteed in all conditions.
Beyond dockstarting, BLISS is a highly versatile floating platform. With or without ballast, it can serve as a training station, coaching platform, boat extension, swim platform, or on-water resting area. Its volume, rigidity, and stability place it well above standard inflatable platforms for every one of these uses. BLISS is a performance tool for pumping, but also a complete solution for creating entirely new playgrounds on the water.
BLISS platforms can also be connected together to create larger floating structures capable of accommodating multiple riders—or even spectators. The perfect solution for clubs, schools, and events.
Portable, compact when rolled up, and quick to deploy, BLISS makes dockstarting possible almost anywhere, without depending on existing infrastructure or a specific spot.
BLISS is both a personal platform and a community platform. Keep one at home and set it up wherever you want, or share it with friends through a club or local association. This more community-driven vision of pumping is at the heart of the BLISS concept. A BLISS club can train riders, rent equipment, offer pumping sessions, and organize competitions with ease.
And who hasn't dreamed of setting up a platform just beyond the lineup on a small swell day, dropping into clean waves with nobody around, then pumping back out for another ride? For BLISS owners, that's not a dream, it's everyday reality.
LENGTH & RUN-UP
The length of the pontoon and your stroke directly influence the speed of your approach and the quality of your push-off. The Compact version of the BLISS offers you a 4-meter approach, the best compromise between progressive acceleration and a strong start.
A true runway for a successful takeoff.
INERTIAL BALLAST
The impulse at takeoff is the moment when everything is decided. The ballast and its hundreds of liters of water lock the platform's position.
The support is secure, the energy from the run is instantly transferred to the foil and generates all the lift needed to launch. The platform doesn't slip when it comes to shifting your weight onto the board.
HEIGHT AND DROP
The BLISS is intentionally thick. This construction positions you at the ideal height on the mast, and the drop launches you.
The foil engages naturally, without additional effort or correction, you are fresh to pump relentlessly!
STABILITY AND WIDTH
On the BLISS, you can run calmly, fast, and with the feeling of being on a hard pontoon. Stability is never compromised.
The lateral stability that BLISS provides is useful to everyone, whether starting out and getting familiar with pumping or breaking your personal records.
ASYMMETRY
The pontoon is intentionally positioned laterally.
One side for practice, departures, arrivals, free from any obstruction.
The dockstart without any compromise: you can set off with the Ultra Trail, forgetting that its wingspan is the largest in our range!
A practical side: ballast, anchoring, handles, loops, everything else is concentrated on the opposite side.
This asymmetry also allows two or more to be connected to form a huge dock starts center!
