We love going to the beach during this time of the year. Here in Hawaii it's usually sunny and windy especially when we go to our favorite swimming spot in the island which is windward side. Having an umbrella stands really help us a lot because it really holds on to our big umbrella. We usually stick it to the sand before but when the big wind gust comes it blew away, we have been looking for real solution, good thing we found it and we're happy.
