Surfing

Chances are, if you’re a surfer, you either: a) live by the beach, b) wish you lived by the beach, or c) travel to the beach as often as you can so you can surf. You love the ocean, the smell of the salt water, the sound of the waves and birds, and the warmth of the sun and sand. If the ocean is part of what makes you tick, you’ll soon discover that when the waves aren't coming or when you just need a break in between sets, enjoying the ocean from a Trek Light portable hammock is sublime! You can sway in the breeze listening to the rhythm of the waves pounding the shore. Or just use it as a place to stash your gear and keep the sand out. If there are trees or cars or fences, you can hang the hammock right on the beach and enjoy the beautiful ocean view. Even when you can't find a place to hang it, our hammocks easily convert into a quick-drying beach blanket. The soft, parachute nylon is cooling in the heat and comfortable when it’s cool.

Not only is a Trek Light portable hammock the most comfortable seat to bring along on a surfing trip, it’s also the most practical.

Trek Light Hammocks are made of quick-drying parachute nylon, so even if you get it soaked after you get out of the water, it’s only minutes before the warm sunshine wicks that water away and you have a silky, soft seat. On the ground, the hammock makes a killer beach blanket – it’s quick-drying, won’t rot or mildew, and the fabric is so fine and silky that you don’t have to worry about trekking any sand back home with you. If it’s warm, the parachute nylon is a comfortable cool sheet to lay on. If it’s hot, it works great as a sun shade. And you can have a piece of gear that provides all of these options each time you go to the beach with almost no extra weight or space!

Trek Light Gear's lightweight portable hammocks only weigh one pound and can slip in your bag, under your arm, or hang from the tie on your board. Even better, they can travel with you on any surf trip – use them to sleep in the trees in Costa Rica, in a hostel in Australia and everywhere in between. You don't even have to pack a Trek Light hammock in your suitcase or bag, bring it as a carry on and it doubles as a perfectly sized, comfortable travel pillow on all the plane rides back and forth!
