Changing equipment for cold-water surfing

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this project is to develop a specialized piece of equipment for cold-water surfers to use when changing before and after a surf session. The current surfing equipment available is designed for warmer weather and water temperature and doesn’t cover all the needs the surfers in the northern countries of Europe and America have. A research study was performed to better understand the needs of the cold-water surfers from the different northern countries. Many field studies were also performed at Nynäshamn, a cold-water surfing spot close to Stockholm in Sweden. Next an idea generation process and concept generation process were done to find the best solutions for the problem. After choosing the best concept, it was further developed in detail. The final product was a silicone bucket and isolating mat that allows storage for both dry and wet gear.
