Hi! We're 2 brothers (Dane & Scott) and 1 best friend (Alex) who grew up visiting Emerald Isle, North Carolina every summer for family vacations for as long as we can remember.
This annual beach trip is hands-down our favorite week of the year, and has always been a time for relaxation and enjoying the company of family and friends.
During one of these annual trips, we finally realized that one thing was consistently getting in the way of the perfect beach-day experience: those flimsy beach umbrellas and bulky tents that never provided quite enough shade, were too heavy to carry, too complicated to assemble, and might be carried down the beach in a strong gust of wind.
