Take the idea of the surfer sleeping on the beach to its literal extreme with the Wave Cave ($260-$320). This combination surfboard case and tent can carry your boards — up to four of 'em — safely from your latest crash pad to the ocean, where you can remove the tent from its dedicated pocket, clip it to the bag, and zip your way around to create a protective shelter, while the padding that kept your boards cushioned earlier now makes for a nice place to lay your head. Note: does not protect against high tide, or crab infestations.
