Does a freediver need the WED – EQ trainer Made of Natural Wood? At first glance, the answer may seem to be "no". Certainly, an EQ Trainer made of aluminium or metal could serve the same purpose - just as a plastic table can also be stable and an aluminium park bench can invite you to rest. But when it comes to combining genuine joy, passion and deep emotions with a functional object, wood is the undisputed leader.

The WED - EQ Trainer made of natural wood is made of Swiss stone pine, a natural material that grows and lives for decades. A tree that provides shade, stabilises steep slopes, produces vital oxygen and now takes on a new role in our lives in the form of this trainer. This piece of nature brings the power and tranquillity of the forest directly into your training routine.

Behind each of these carefully crafted WED - EQ trainers made from natural wood is Nicolas Aufranc, a trained forester, paramedic, log builder and talented freediver from the Bernese Jura, who uses his passion for wood, nature and water to create this unique, handcrafted item. Nicolas selected the logs himself in Celerina in the Engadin, transported them to Bern and then sawed them into planks with expertise. Carefully dried, Nicolas then has the mouldings turned into their final shape in his village of Orvin. The WED – EQ trainer Made of Natural Wood is more than just a piece of training equipment. It is a piece of craftsmanship that tells you the story of its creation as you train. An EQ Trainer that improves your pressure equalisation and touches your soul!
