- worked with everything from weight loss to stress management

- Created long -term change for both body and mind

He is trained within:

- Advanced MI (Motivational Interviewing)

- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

- nutrition, level 4

- Mental Health First Aid

- Sports Therapy

"Vs Life is not about being perfect. It's all about starting, and continuing."

 

The conversation with Tyler

We met Tyler for a conversation about health, sauna and why he chose to cooperate with us.

Here are some highlights from the interview:

What is vs. Life for you?
"It's my life journey, packed into something that can help others. I combine physical and mental training to create real results."

How do you view the role of the sauna in the whole?
"The sauna is magical. It lowers the garden. There often starts the most important conversations."

Why are you working with us?
"Because we both work with people, not just products. It's genuine. It's real."

Your advice to prospective partners?
"Jump on. If you believe in what you do, it will be noticed - and spread."

We want to spread the sauna culture - but how?

We are passionate about sauna. It's not just a product - it's a way to land, recover and socialize.

But we notice that many want to look and feel at our Sauna Tent in reality before they decide.

The challenge:
How do we get our Sauna Tent Closer to more people in Europe - without compromising quality, service or feeling?

Together we bounce Europe warmer.

Heat between the sessions

After each surf session, they gathered in our Sauna Tent. It became a place to regain warmth, rest their muscles, and talk through what they had just experienced. Maybe even reflect on why they truly chase those perfect waves.

And for us, that's exactly what the sauna is all about. Not just heat – but the rhythm of recovery, performance, and community. A place to land.

That our Sauna Tent got to be part of such a journey – together with some of the world's most dedicated surfers – is something we are incredibly proud of.

Who are they?

Freddie Meadows

is Sweden's most experienced professional surfer. After ten years on the competition scene, he chose to follow his heart and start exploring Scandinavian coastlines – with the goal of finding world-class waves in our northern waters.

Nic von Rupp

Hailing from Portugal, he is known for surfing some of the biggest waves ever at Nazaré. He is a multiple championship winner, documentary filmmaker, and has twice been nominated for the World Surf League's "Big Wave Performance of the Year."

Andrew Cotton

Born in the United Kingdom, he is a pioneer of Big Wave Surfing in Europe. He has towed surfing legends into record-breaking waves, gained global recognition, and pushed the boundaries of what British surfing can be – while balancing his career with life as a parent of young children.

Sauna + surf = an obvious combination

There is something special about the contrast between cold and heat, performance and stillness. The chaos of the waves meets the calm of the tent. And for those who surf in Arctic conditions, the sauna is not a luxury – it is a necessity.

Where will the next wave happen? We don’t know. And we’re not supposed to know. But one thing is certain: our Sauna Tent will be there.
