Instead of having to screw your umbrella down, the 'beachBUB' works by utilizing sand as a form of weight. The 'beachBUB' is designed to be laid down and filled with sand; once this is done, a parasol is inserted into it and hooked into place. The 'beachBUB' will instantly go to work providing advanced resistance against [strong winds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-anchor), while providing support for heavy umbrellas. The 'beachBUB' umbrella base holds up to 170-pounds of sand and is designed to be setup in a matter of minutes and stay put for the entire day or season. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Beach Umbrella Stabilizers:** Opportunities for innovating weight distribution systems in beach umbrellas to prevent them from falling over at the beach - **Portable Outdoor Accessories:** Opportunities for designing lightweight and easy-to-assemble outdoor accessories for people on the go - **Reinvented Beach Cottage Industry:** Opportunities for developing and commercializing beach cottage industries that aim to cater to the needs of beachgoers with unique and creative designs ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Outdoor Retail:** Manufacturers of outdoor furniture and accessories can create innovative and affordable solutions inspired by the 'beachBUB' umbrella base for customers who like to spend time outside - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Beach resorts and hotels can provide trendy and innovative beach accessories like the 'beachBUB' as part of their beach vacation packages to attract and retain customers - **Leisure and Recreation:** Organizations and businesses that cater to leisure and recreation activities like beach camping and picnics can integrate lightweight and portable accessories such as the 'beachBUB' for customer convenience and satisfaction ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Umbrella Standpoint Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standpoint.md) - [Marine-Grade Sun Shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shibumi-shade.md) - [Sturdy Heat Relief Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aliz-umbrella.md) - [All-Weather Protection Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weatherman-trek-umbrella.md) - [Connected Dual Functioning Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hulasol.md) - [Water-Friendly Sun Shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bote-hangout-shade.md) - [Large Outdoor Parasol Shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-max.md) - [Lightweight Backpacking Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-anchor.md) - [Outdoor Cantilevered Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novara.md)
