Please give advice on wind shelters for my new Baby & wife? Seems like all the umbrellas half tents etc. are for Sun not WIND. registered Since 12 Jul 2005 1319 Posts tsunami Sandbagger Wed May 29, 13 7:29 pm     I let my wife enjoy herself and don't make her and our child suffer horrible conditions while I get dragged around . A little free time is good, gives ya something to talk about. its_kite:30 Since 29 May 2009 108 Posts White Salmon/ Beaverton Stoked Wed May 29, 13 8:11 pm     I have tried and use a sport umbrella it's okay but gets to flapping around without big stones holding the sides down. At least in sand anyway. If its sunny and the sand isn't kicking up off the beach we let the kiddos play on the sand bar at the N or E end while dad / mom are taking turns getting in a session. If its a sand blast day don't ruin there fun just to have them close. So yes the umbrella does work and is nice to have. stevegriffith22 Since 14 May 2006 434 Posts Obsessed Wed May 29, 13 8:15 pm     Got a 1000 buck rv and put it at rufus, haven't missed very many weekends since, best purchase of kite equipment yet.... Bettyboarder Since 18 Mar 2005 1823 Posts PDX/ White Salmon Mrs. Site Lackey Wed May 29, 13 8:47 pm     We have the sportbella and it works pretty good but it doesn't have a floor so pack a sheet or something for the baby. I also bought a super tiny inflatable pool for our baby last year to play in at the beach she loved it of course it depends on how old the baby is http://www.amazon.com/Sun-Smart-Baby-Hideaway-Pool/dp/B0027GKVZO/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1369889187&sr=8-5&keywords=infant+pool We also bought an rv and it was a bit nicer to hang out in then the tent _________________ Join the CGKA!

Perfect for kids beach this year. Too bad they don't come with beer holders for Mom but Pfrium is nearby I guess.

Any other options out there or recommendations? Looking for something for HR event site and the Coast. Seems like the Sportbrella and Lightspeed Quick Shelter are the most common. cheers! stringy Since 23 Jun 2006 1724 Posts vancouver XTreme Poster Thu May 21, 15 9:35 am     surfncap wrote: Def getting a RV for Rufus, Sauvies and Jones. oh shiza guess now ill have to park jones RV at clats campground.

I would put a board bag against the wheels to keep the wind from coming under. It was so nice to have the whole car as a windbreak and have all the gear and kids stuff.

We have two of those wind shades. Have had then out in 30 plus and it's easy to put up I watched my wife put it up while I was kiting on the lake in 30 knots and she had no struggle. Pull the cord and the legs pop out. All you need is a few tent steaks and it is bomber. They seem to be built pretty good. Pretty easy directions and the one I broke was my fault. it was warranted by the company out of arizona that sold them to me. I was able to cut an inch off the graphite pole and now I have two of them. Great to keep the wife and kids out of the elements. I will try to find who I purchased it from. If you want to see one let me know and I can show you ours! _________________ Take a breath; inhale beefcake Since 11 Jul 2007 140 Posts Stoked Thu May 21, 15 4:02 pm     dog patrol, sweet thanks for the feedback and the offer, I think i'm going to just buy one let me know if you find link to where u purchased found this website $55 http://hikergear.com/product/pacific-breeze-easyup-beach-tent/ Last edited by beefcake on Thu May 21, 15 4:03 pm; edited 1 time in total        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
