Surf Sauna in a Barrel Keeps Crazy Winter Surfers Warm

Just for fun ... une remorque sauna, pour se réchauffer quand il fait froid...

Surf Sauna is a mobile sauna built to warm up winter surfers. A group of surfers in the Portsmouth New Hampshire area built it using western red cedar and stainless steel, and it's available for rent by the day. The barrel-shaped space can be transported anywhere and used by people who enjoy all sorts of winter activities.

Surf Sauna’s structure is made from marine grade galvanized and stainless steel to hold up to years of salt water exposure. The cylindrical walls are made from western red cedar which is naturally rot resistant and antimicrobial. The unit comes bundled with a mounted shovel and hi-lift jack, in case the vehicle gets stuck.

The idea for the sauna came much earlier during the formation of Port City Makerspace in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It was years before a group of surfers and craftsmen decided to actually build it. According to the group’s official website, the unit will soon be available to rent by the day.
