NO MORE NUDE SURFERS THANKS TO FOLDING TENT

NO MORE NUDE SURFERS THANKS TO FOLDING TENT



MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (Wireless Flash) – Public beaches don’t have to be peep shows anymore thanks to a new invention aimed at surfers and divers who want a little privacy as they slip in and out of their wetsuits. The so-called “Dive Inn Instant Privacy Enclosure” is a 6-foot- tall tent that collapses into a two-foot-square package. When it’s unfolded it allows the user to don his or her wetsuit in the buff without allowing prying eyes a view. Inventor Rod Beckwith says he was inspired to create the tent after having to change in and out of his scuba gear behind a skimpy towel countless times. He says the enclosure can also double as a private shower just by mounting a hose inside. The changing tents sell for about $110 at diveinn.net.
