- There are many beach umbrellas out there, but there aren't many that can hold up in windy conditions for long periods of time. In this video, I review a beach umbrella that is not only wind worthy but is also one that won't blow away on me when I'm trying to relax at the beach.

Every time I poked around the internet, looking for the best beach umbrella for the wind, BeachBUB All-in-One Beach Umbrella System would always turn up as the top banana. As the Beach Gear Guy, I decided I really needed to buy it and review it myself.
In this video, you'll actually get to see me setting up this beach umbrella system on a windy day. I also set up a few other beach umbrellas to offer a comparison.
It was a great day to take the BeachBub for a test drive and I was very happy with the results.

Thanks for watching!
Just bought one of their Demo versions that they sell for a discount off their website. Same umbrella system used once by their staff for TV/Media appearances. Even got one of the fancy colors for cheaper than the standard blue at Amazon prices. Thanks for your windy video-- really helped me decide to buy. I'm alleviating my husband's OCD with this gift. He usually ends up spending our whole beach day gripping and holding our cheapo umbrella for fear it will let loose.
Glad the video helped. I'm happy your husband can now relax and take it easy at the beach. :)
@@BeachGearGuy Would you consider gear reviews for beach bluetooth speakers and inflatable rafts/floats?
I got this in May based on your review. We used it all week at Pawleys Island SC in June. By far the best umbrella I have ever used! Rock steady at all times. Super easy to setup. Thanks for the great reviews!!
Fantastic!!! Pawleys Island is a beautiful spot. I'm glad the BeachBUB served you well! Thanks for letting me know, Matt!
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)???
Thank you for doing a wind test! This is great video with lots of helpful feedback.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment!
Great looking and nice design. A tilt device or knuckle is imperative to help track the sun and shade shadow. Otherwise you have to move your chairs to keep in the shade and lose the table where your drinks and phones are. This umbrella works great when the sun is directly overhead.
BeachBUB does offer a sun visor that attaches to the umbrella to help with that issue, but I haven't reviewed it yet.
I love the new i’m Brola!!!
I think it’s a excellent review on the product.. the beach bub umbrella is great. But yeah it is over Priced!
Thanks!
We got one cheaper from a friend that was not using it. I was skeptical at first but now we like it on windy days. We use larger cheap ones on less windy days. 1. If it is not windy, just skip the scooping and stick it in normally. 2. We prefer umbrellas without a hinge because those things break too easily. Just tilt the umbrella pole.
Great idea about using the hose clamp. That will help me keep some of our cheapies in service longer. We have a beach place and keep a fleet of umbrellas. 😁
Yeah. Those tilt hinges do have a tendency to malfunction when it gets breezy. Thanks for the info!
I bought it and happened to speak to the company owner about an Amazon customer service issue. He mentioned they will have an add-on visor available next year to handle concerns about not being able to tilt the umbrella. Priced @ 30.00 he said.
Sounds intriguing. Can't wait to check it out! Thanks for letting me know!
Impressive
Is this still your favorite umbrella for the beach? love ur videos thank u !
Thanks! The BeachBub is still my favorite umbrella for a windy day at the beach.
Love the music
Isn’t there an attachable table that comes with it? Saw it in another review.
There is an attachable table. I don't have one, though.
I found the best option for Argentina coast!
Cool! Please let me know how it works out if you buy one!
Another great video since your post how are you still liking this umbrella, thanks again Chris @ Kure Beach.
Thanks Chris! The BeachBUB is a great beach umbrella. It's really tough and well made. I've been mostly using beach tents this summer, but if I need a beach umbrella for a windy day, the BeachBub is my first pick.
@@BeachGearGuy Thanks for the reply using the tent also, and have the ARB awning but the wife likes a umbrella. Will get it ordered, stay safe.
You just gain a subscriber
Thanks Bryan!
I like the concept two umbrellas.
Thanks Dave! Glad you dig it!
Beach Gear Guy anytime
SOLD!
what if we use dig-git and beachbub together?
I suppose you could do that, but I think one beach umbrella anchor would be enough.
👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks!
How big a problem do you think it is that you can't angle the umbrella to match the angle of the sun? Or can you make it match the angle of the sun?
From my experience, it would be difficult to angle the umbrella. It's designed to be set up straight.
They sell a sun visor now that will add a bunch of shade, thereby forgoing any tipping of the umbrella. I think it’s a necessary accessory.
U can’t adjust to height? Just one height? Or I guess I can go deeper past burying line?
That's right. Just one height.
@@BeachGearGuy since it only has one height. Do you move back a lot when the sun changes?
@@BeachGearGuy or is it at a good height
It's a good height, but I do have to move when the sun changes because it doesn't tilt. However, BeachBUB now sells sun visors that attach to the umbrella. I haven't used one, so I'm unsure how well they work. beachbub.com/collections/accessories
What umbrella would be good to mount on an DVmnind.
What's a DVmnind?
I meant to type bike lol. I think my hands were wet and I didn’t notice the typo.
I’ve been looking at different wind resistant brellas to mount to my bike. I had one invert yesterday because of the wind.
@@mattmatter5643 Oh, cool! Where do you mount it to the bike?
I got a handlebar mount. You could probably mount it on a rear rack to. I have it on my lectric xp lite. I have a golf umbrella I was using. It worked pretty good for a min, but I guest of wind upturned the vented umbrella.
Just as an FYI, the other umbrella that leans is supposed to lean into the wind, not the way you had it. But I still prefer the beach bub.
I was trying to correct the umbrella so it didn't tilt.
@@BeachGearGuy No matter what angle... that umbrella was toast.
Does it just have one fixed height, please?
Yes. The BeachBub I set up in this video just has one height.
@@BeachGearGuy I wonder if it’s possible to drill additional holes in the top half’s shaft to allow for lower heights…? 🤔
The top pole is made so it can only be inserted so far into the lower pole before it stops...so drilling more holes won't matter. Great idea though!
The BeachBUB sun visor is available!
Thanks for letting me know! I just watched the BeachBUB Sun Visor Tutorial.
The shape you form with the sand sack is NOT a "pyramid" - it's a "tetrahedron" 🙂
Wrong. Pyramid implies triangular faces. Tetrahedron is a triangular pyramid.
@@CoopMauKona pretty sure a "pyramid" is defined as having a square base. That's what separates it from a tetrahedron.
You should check out the Shibumi for windy conditions
I would love to but they're a bit pricey. Do you have one?
@@BeachGearGuy Yes, bought my first about 2 years ago. Now you can see them dotting the coast for many beaches across the mid-Atlantic. In my opinion there is nothing better for windy conditions. Just need to not be annoyed by the flapping, but it's such a lightweight material that it isn't that noticeable. Yes, they are a bit pricey, but if properly used this will last for years. Plus they are made in North Carolina.
I think you sold me Andy! I'm always looking for a great sun shade that can withstand a windy day at the beach. I'll look into getting one to review. I did notice on their website that they were out of North Carolina. I love that. Thanks Man!
You had me until......"it does not tilt"
They have an adapter to make it tilt. It's $7
Hi Beach guy, I took a look at your video for the beach bub win test. I noticed that your wind meter was only 20.6 mph then you stated it was 30 big difference. Have you looked at any other beach umbrellas? I also noticed that the umbrella you used to compete with was very inexpensive as you stated $20 umbrella versus a six panel market style with A much stronger frame. Also you use no echo device so of course that type of umbrella will truly fall apart.
Fred you literally looked for things wrong. Lol. For one, lets imagine that the winds picked up and universe forbid that the video basically covering 20-30mph winds isnt enough for you all bc he didnt record himself holding the wind-meter at the time the umbrellas were up. Also his comparisons were spot on. Not sure what country youre in, but the avg American (which is middle class) is absolutely shopping for the $20 umbrella so this was needed to be done exactly how it is. No one usually even dares to go past $40 for a standard beach umbrella (which are all typical of the same build) so he chose right for the AVERAGE viewer. And assuming youre referring to an anchor device... believe it or not millions of ppl do not use one esp on the cheap pharmacy umbrellas with no hooks. You can witness this innocent ignorance on any busy beach day as ppl get up quick to reinsert their umbrellas in the sand; they genereally dont know ppl have lost eyes due to unsecured umbrellas. SO this review is a 100 out of 10 for the avg viewer. Feel free to look up the many other BeachBub reviews here and all over the interent if you need more convincing but be honest with yourself if you wont believe it regardless. As an over-analytical person doing research, I have yet to find any factual (versus strictly opinionated cosmetic) complaints yet. When YOU find a safer complete beach *umbrella (not tent or canopy; nor just an anchor)- you spend your hundreds and make a review video on a windy day for the world to see. We'll appreciate it. Thanks.
All you need is bucket with wet sand
Pre hole in sand!? That’s like trying to drill a pre hole in water.
The issue is this type of umbrella is heavier and although it seems easy enough takes longer to set up. Real life solution is to just fold the umbrella when the wind picks up too much or point it in the direction of the wind.
The setup looks really involved. 🫤
