I Used to Hate the Beach. Then I Got This Sturdy Umbrella.
There isn’t a ton of cleaning or upkeep involved. Knock the sand off, make sure you don’t store it wet, and that’s pretty much it. Everything you need for the beachBUB umbrella fits into the handy bag for easy carrying and storage.
This umbrella is the opposite of disposable crap many people have become accustomed to with beach gear. My family used to buy a new $80 umbrella every other year, and like clockwork, the cheap plastic parts would snap, rendering it unusable and irreparable. For about the price of two of those, I can have the beachBUB system, which is made in Greensboro, North Carolina, and comes with a three-year protection plan, a 10-year frame warranty, and a lifetime warranty on the base.
If anything breaks that’s not covered by the warranty, the company sells replacement parts that are pretty fairly priced. Plus, I genuinely feel happy and proud to support this company, which seems to care so deeply about quality and safety.
And hey, nothing is going to make me stop resenting sand-filled sandwiches or seagulls that steal your snacks. But every time I use the beachBUB umbrella, the Jersey Shore feels one step closer to a true haven.
