The BeachBub Umbrella. Someone always stops and asks about it when we're on the beach.

I get so many questions when we use this BeachBub umbrella that making a video on it was obvious. Everyone fights their beach store umbrella and having some reliable shade to retreat to can make or break your day at the beach. You want a little breeze to keep cool but then you're fighting the umbrella, hoping it doesn't fly away. I've wasted waaaay more money on crappy beach equipment than I had to put into this. This will last years, decades maybe, and I get questions on it all of the time. Here is the link to the umbrella. linktw.in/WZGWKi

I thought you were gonna demonstrate it against heavy winds

[@user-fx5sw4jy7hYz9Hzi]

Problem is it's too small. As you can see only one person gets shade. Go with Neo or Ninja.

[@legendfpv]

If others want shade they can buy their own umbrellas. Not a real issue.

[@JW-iz6mv]

I noticed the shaded area looked small

[@WaydUncaged]

Too bad it only provides shade for 1.

thx brother time to beach bum it

[@jigginjohnson2893]

I bought the beach bub 5 years ago. Best umbrellas I’ve ever purchased. They are expensive, but way worth it. And yes, people come up to me every single year and ask me what kind of umbrella it is.

[@ammsun1642]

AMMSUN beach umbrella is also a good choice

[@ursuladubrick4434]

I have one.... living in Florida it really is beautiful & solid. I love mine. Have had it over a year.

[@evolutionaryTom]

I completely agree, Ursula. And someone always comes up and asks about it. I bet you get that too. -Tom

[@davejackson3869]

but its too small, it doesnt throw enuf shade. i have to constantly move it!!!

[@karlschmitt6231]

i paid $20. dollars for my Tommy umbrella at costco and just dig a hole and tilt it into the wind if its blowing never would pay 150 crazy

[@hashtagjustadad5110]

Looks awesome until you see the $150 price tag.

[@evolutionaryTom]

HJad, if you go to the beach more than a few times a year, it's a bargain. Quality is more expensive but I see those $30 Walmart umbrellas in the trash can, or next to it, every time I go to the beach. -Tom

[@rggm-bl1xl]

This is the best beach umbrella! We have used ours for the last 2 summers and it’s always the only one not blowing over or flipping over 😅 Easy set up and take down. I wish there was a smaller “portable/travel” version.

[@ammsun1642]

AMMSUN beach umbrella is also a good choice

[@r3d5ive87]

The requirement to install it vertically ruins it. Not enough shade.

[@davejackson3869]

i like mine but its too small, it doesnt throw enuf shade. i have to constantly move it!!!

[@evolutionaryTom]

I just received another yesterday for the very same reason, Dave. Actually, I got it for when we have guests but I can use it for both. That's how I justified the $$. LOL

[@sharonc7153]

They are now selling a sun visor accessory! It hangs down from umbrella and provides extra shade...the rotating pole allows you to turn as the sun moves. I'm ordering one for next year!

[@Dr.Schlitz]

Nice video, but I hope you aren't one of those people ruining the beach experience for others by blasting music on your bluetooth speaker.

Hi Jim! It's beaching in style, for sure! Hope you're good.

[@evolutionaryTom]

I'll add it. Sitting under it right now in Marco Island and two people have asked me about it today. Thanks, Tom

[@mattsayle]

Bought a U stand instead

[@myadventureoutdoors]

I gotta see that in some stiff winds and then I will become a believer. I am impressed thus far.

[@davidchalmers9818]

We've had one several years and our umbrella is open when all others on the beach are closed! The "stand" itself is awesome and works every time, but the umbrella is worth every penny. Have taken it on at least 6 week-long beach trips with strong winds and has never failed to stay secured or failed. Highly recommended. Other youtube videos show it sustaining strong winds.

[@py2237]

Adventure Outdoors, I missed the part about stiff wind claims. Can you please quote?

[@phdyoutubedegree1939]

Its a nice beach umbrella and I would say the best I have seen. I would still feel nervous about strong winds coming thru plus i would need more shade for the family. Love the hanging hooks and table.That is the best buying point for me.

[@stevenrheeter6005]

There's another video where a different guy tested the beachBUB in verified 30mph winds and, if the video is to be believed, it survived.

[@nicolaeb3942]

@@davidchalmers9818 Then why didn't HE made one?

[@evolutionaryTom]

Because it just wasn't too windy that day. But it was too windy for the other umbrellas you saw folded over.

[@davidchalmers9818]

We've had our umbrella for going on 5 years now. Many beach trips with strong wind blowing and our Beach Bum umbrella is the only one still up. We use an extra stand with another umbrella and holds it down great. Wish that umbrella was as sturdy as the Beach Bum umbrella! Made a believer out of my parents and sister...they ordered theirs for our next trip! Can't wait to try the table I ordered! Great product! Couldn't recommend more!

[@evolutionaryTom]

That's a solid endorsement, David. I'm glad to hear that you're 5 years into it and it's holding up well. If I had one wish it would be that they would offer a slightly larger umbrella as another option. Thanks for the great comment. -Tom

[@easternzone7869]

@@davejackson3869 wouldn’t is be easier to just move your sitting position in relation to the sun instead of moving the umbrella ?

[@evolutionaryTom]

Most people don't read the description. Here is the Amazon link: linktw.in/WZGWKi

[@joea7763]

I can see how it won't blow away but its still going to turn inside out in strong winds like any other umbrella.

[@evolutionaryTom]

Anything can happen but I will tell you that if this umbrella is about to turn inside, you should have been off the beach a LONG time ago. This umbrella is built really well!

[@Pogokoala]

what kind of Beach Wagon are you using? I've struggling looking for one that can fold yet wheels that doesn't drag much across the sand.

[@MrLinkiscute]

We bungee a duffle bag full of sand to a regular beach umbrella

[@thecointrader]

Very Nice and Functional, but if the wind ever took that tumbling down the beach, that pole being made of metal and pointed will be like a spear!

[@illaneecorona]

True, but thats the thing Matt.... the chances of this one taking flight is substantially low (in comparison) meanwhile the "regular" ones can simply be searched here on YT for the many horrors stories bc they are destined to be uprooted if not installed well and go straight through ppls legs as if steel. Once the wind is fast enough, either umbrella is a spear. Least this doesnt have pointy tip like many. What you are referring to is a severe freak accident which basically confuses me on why you'd even watch this video bc the only thing safer than this (or anchoring a regular umbrella) would be to not bring one at all. Unfortunately, while some humans dont need any sunscreen, some cases of humans require more than sunscreen... and no- no one will stay locked in their house all summer bc of fear. Thats not a way to live. This is literally an umbrella that encompasses all of the main safety precautions (hollow tube entry, hole deep in sand and an anchor) and youre still like.... what if? Thats life. If a car jumps a curb the next time youre walking down the street it could be very worse than a spear. Odds of that happening are way higher statistically. Something tells me you wont refuse to ever walk down a street again though. So, yes you are correct but it doesnt take away from this being on the safer side when it comes to adequate personal shade devices. Ppl can add extra anchors. Sh* they can even add a cinderblock instead of sand (for my petite ladies i would advise throwing this task to your husbands if you dont have a rolling beach bag lol). If the wind ever gets that bad to move cinderblocks, the owner would have noticed bc clearly a hurricane is on the way lol. Feel free to watch the many comparison tests on extremely 30mph+ windy days of this one remaining solid on a beach of regular umbrellas. It does come at a price- but technically youre paying for the safety odds and the brand knows that lol.

[@evolutionaryTom]

I couldn't have said it better Illanee. AND, I just bought my third one, two for our main location and one for a lake. The function and quality build on these easily make it worth the money.

[@tonylam3202]

This review just like getting paid for advertising. Nothing to do with wind demonstration.

[@evolutionaryTom]

It's not windy everyday here, Tony. It's not sunny everyday either. But I've used that umbrella, and now have two that we set up almost every weekend. They are the real deal regardless of my poor quality video. Please send me a link to yours. -Tom

[@bollemonster]

Is there any way to use this somewhere that is not the beach (i.e. even if you had sand) or does it need to be screwed into the ground? Would it fit in an umbrella base?

[@richardl3720]

Terrific idea. I might make 4 of these for a canopy(with 4 legs). All I need to do is clamp or fasten something onto each pole, perhaps a through-bolt and find/make 4 mini tarps

[@richardl3720]

Actually, just came back from beach and right before, purchased a 10 x 10 pop up canopy. I used Ikea bags and filled them with sand at each corner. Worked perfectly.

[@stevenrheeter6005]

I still don't get it. The beachBUB "ultra" hold down system that can be used with ANY umbrella is sold separately for $40. The beachBUB complete system (ultra hold down system plus umbrella) is $175. So the included 7 1/2-foot non-tilt umbrella is worth $135??? I remain skeptical on that. Why not get the ultra hold down system for $40 and a sport-brella premier that is 9-foot and has tilt option for only $75 (total $115)???

[@legendfpv]

Worth a lot more than that. Completely in a league of it's own.

[@rkwjunior2298]

​@@legendfpvWhy is it that good?

[@mrhrggins]

Go to their website and see the spare parts price breakdown. It might make more sense then. I'm taking my family to the beach in a week and will be testing this bad boy out upon trial set up so I didn't look like a complete idiot on the beach, everything looks to be very good quality..

[@rabidzojo1073]

Does this tilt or have adjustable height?

[@evolutionaryTom]

Great question. NO, it does not have a tilt feature or adjustable height. -Tom

[@D0NTsmokeCRACK]

@@evolutionaryTom tilt I could do without, that has been the fail point of the last three Tommy Bahama umbrellas I’ve had, but the lack of adjustable height does kind of sound like a dealbreaker

[@peteystejanohits3269]

I like it but I will stick with my small power drill, auger bit and add water once the pole is in the hole. I drill the hole in a slight angle. A tip for everyone of course is to slightly tilt your umbrella against the wind to avoid draft seeping in and thus pulling up and out.

[@evolutionaryTom]

If I was a teenager, I would have a drill, auger bit, and a backpack with a few extra batteries. Then I'd walk on the beach and put umbrellas in the beach for donations. I think they would do better than cutting grass all summer. In Marco Island the average age of the beach goer is older and I think they would love this service. Great tip Petey.

[@danielpanatha]

Cool, but I think the shade is really small.

[@Sryche22]

Has anyone tried this in Hawaii?…The tradewinds will put any umbrella through a stress test pretty quickly.

[@evolutionaryTom]

I think that's a great idea, B. Hopefully someone from Hawaii will chime in. I have a new sun shade review coming out soon. I think it will be just as popular and might fit what you're talking about even better. -Tom

[@path7538]

I wish it was lighter in weight

[@evolutionaryTom]

It does have some heft to it when it's all packed up in the bag, I agree. And some days I bring two of them to the beach! That's when our green cart comes in very handy.

[@usernamedrain]

Just bought a Hammering Stake a few days ago because its been crazy windy around Ft Lauderdale but still great beach weather. Honestly this is best beach umbrella sand anchor on the market, no need for digging holes, twisting, strapping and all that nonsense to secure your umbrella.

I've got two now and all the pros at the beach use them as well. They just hold up so much better than anything else.

[@ramyajayachandran]

This seems specifically for beach. However have you used this at camping sites and what would you replace the sand with in that case?

[@evolutionaryTom]

I have another one at our lake house and we use it on the dock. I have mounted a traditional umbrella stand to the wooden dock, and then insert this umbrella. Holds up to the wind perfectly and goes nowhere.

Have you ever attempted to set it up at an angle? It seems sturdy enough to handle it.

I hope you got the tables with it. They are great to keep all your stuff out of the sand, Marjorie. We went for a walk at the beach last week and I saw 6 of these umbrellas in a bunch. I stopped to talk to them and they were all neighbors at a condo unit. One person got one and then the rest followed. This umbrella is solid as a rock! Enjoy your beach trip! -Tom
