Tent that caters to the traveling surfer
by Howard Swanwick
24/07/2006:// With swell chasing and remote location surf camping in mind, LifeStyleDesign created the Reef Surf Tent under the direction of President and surfer Marc Tappeiner. The tent takes architectural inspiration from the gaping mouth of a whale and provides the aesthetic appeal of second skin clothing.
The tent has two parts: the inflatable sleep pod and the adjustable canopy—both of which pack snugly into what doubles as an ice chest. The two parts can be used together or separately and in either case provide a comfortable sleeping den and a shaded lounge area.
The inflatable sleep pod eliminates the difficulty of traditional tent assembly in low light or tight space conditions. Inflated with a foot pump, the air is stored in sectioned compartments to maintain function in the case of puncture. The waterproof skin is coupled with ample ventilation to prevent condensation and excessive heat.
The canopy is anchored by containers filled with either rocks, sand or water and the connection ropes cinch down the shelter from its highest position to its lowest to protect from sun, rain and wind, respectively. Mesh siding on the canopy provides a ventilated storage compartment for boards and wetsuits. The tent is like the home away from home one upped the house with its sweet ocean view.
