We bring the benefits of contrast therapy directly to you with our fully portable sauna tents and cold plunge pools, creating a recovery experience wherever you need it.

As passionate lovers of the outdoors and water sports - especially stand-up paddleboarding - we discovered the incredible physical and mental benefits of combining heat and cold, and we knew we wanted to share that experience with others.

We believe recovery should be just as accessible as the adventure itself, which is why The Recovery Dock is perfectly suited to outdoor events, festivals, races, and sporting competitions - particularly those on the water.

Whether you're an athlete looking to recover faster, an event organiser wanting to offer something unique, or simply someone curious to experience contrast therapy, we're here to bring the dock to you.

Our Equipment

We've chosen PortaSauna because they make it easy to take the sauna experience wherever the adventure leads.

The portable saunas are quick to set up, built to last, and perfect for life outdoors—whether we're by the beach, beside a lake, or at an event. Our KABINXL setup comfortably seats 10-12, has a powerful wood-fired stove with olivine stones and cedar wood benches, and to cool off, we have a twin plunge pool to complete your recovery session.

Let us bring something special to your event

Whether you're organising a local paddle meet-up, a challenge, a race, or a weekend festival, our mobile sauna and cold plunge experience adds a unique touch that participants will remember long after they've left the water.

We can work with event organisers of all sizes to create a welcoming recovery space where paddlers can relax, recharge, and connect. If you're planning your next SUP event, we'd love to be part of it.
