“Haven’t actually used this yet, however I bought one for my husband and he has used his on the beach, he’s a keen windsurfer and says they’re a ‘game changer!’ We both have the extra large size and they’re huge, yet they’re really compact when folded and fit neatly and easily into the little bag provided, (not like when you buy an umbrella and have to wrestle with it to get it back in the little pouch!!)”
