Welcome to “Best Summer Ever,“your guide to making the most of the sunny season.
You have tomakeit happen.
It’s not the “best summer ever” for me unless I spend alotof time on beaches.
Below is everything you need for the best beach day ever, from towels and shades to underwater scooters.
Thispicnic blanketwith an attached strap is a higher-end option.
It’s easy to carry, waterproof, and versatile.
If you’re staking out a lot of ground, nylon beach mats are a great option.
Sun shades
I like shade, but I hate beach umbrellas.
There are better options.
Generous sun protection and great look.
Sunglasses: I like theseKnockaround Premiumshades.
They offer full UV400 protection, have impact resistant, polarized lenses, and they aren’t incredibly expensive.
Plus, they come in a variety of eye-catching designs.
Coolers
I want to tell you about my dream cooler.
TheKoolMAXis a ridiculous, maximalist dream of a cooler.
I generally like body surfing, but that may be because I don’t own an electric hydrofoil yet.
These things are amazing.
For less adrenaline-packed water fun, paddleboards,many say,are awesome.
I don’t love them personallytoo much workbut hey, that’s just me.
Fun things don’t have to be expensive, though.
Now I pack aKindle Paperwhite.
Kindles are better than books in every way.
Unlike antique books, Kindles are Bluetooth-compatible for when you decide you’d rather listen to a podcast anyway.
So bring a camera.
I used to think my phone was fine, but then I got aGoPro Hero 12.
I like thesewaterproof playing cards from Hoyle.
Theyre waterproof and practically indestructible, so you’ve got the option to play Bridge while whitewater rafting.
A guitar
Bringing a guitar to the beach is like wearing sunglasses at night.
Most people shouldn’t do it, but some people shouldalwaysdo it.
“The beach will damage my delicate guitar!”
you might be saying.
Yeah, that’s why you need a carbon fiber guitar, like thisKlos Deluxeacoustic/electric.
I like thisPoseidon Nano Charger.It’s small, but packs eight hours of electric go-juice.
Plus, its water-resistant, and it holds a charge for up to two years.
Those people need to hang apersonal air conditionersaround their necks.
It will keep them cool until they can convince everyone else it’s time to leave.
