One such video from first-time German Olympian Tim Elter that showed off his suite on the Aranui 5, the dual-purpose passenger and freighter ship that is housing the surf competitors, has amassed nearly 2 million views on TikTok. "We got asked a lot about the cardboard beds in the floating village in Tahiti," Elter says in the video, while panning across the panoramic view from his balcony overlooking the striking blue water and lush green island before walking into the bedroom. "We don't have cardboard beds. We actually have real, aluminum bed frames that are solid and stable -- so yeah, we've got it better than the guys in Paris."
