The Fastest, Strongest Beach Shade Is Back in Stock - And It's Changing the Way America Does Beach Days
MIAMI, FL / / May 13, 2025 / Beach days should be relaxing. But ask anyone who's spent 15 minutes struggling with a floppy umbrella, and they'll tell you: most beach gear isn't built for real conditions. That changes now. Handy Beach Goods, a Florida-based startup, has just restocked its viral innovation - the Handy Beach Umbrella & Anchor System - designed to be the fastest, most secure shade setup on the market, delivering superior sun and heat protection plus unmatched wind resistance - all in just 10 seconds.
The fastest-to-set-up windproof beach umbrella - because no one has time to fight their shade
The Handy system goes from bag to anchored in under 10 seconds, with no tools, no digging, and no small parts to fumble with. Simply step, hammer, and relax. It's a game-changing upgrade for anyone who's tired of chasing runaway umbrellas or sweating through complicated setups.
Built for real wind - not just marketing promises
What sets Handy apart isn't just ease - it's performance. While most umbrellas tip or lift in strong gusts, Handy stays locked in thanks to its reinforced anchor system and vented canopy. It's one of the few products on the market that successfully passes the wind tunnel test per the new ASTM F3681 standard for wind safety, holding strong in winds up to 30 mph.
Serious sun protection you can trust
The canopy is made with 160g recycled RPET fabric - over 33% thicker than most umbrellas - and rated UPF 55 for advanced UV protection. A reflective silver lining bounces sunlight away and is designed to keep the shade up to 10°F cooler underneath. It's a noticeable difference that protects sensitive skin and improves comfort during long beach days.
Designed to last - season after season
Handy isn't another throwaway beach product. Its steel pole and fiberglass ribs resist bending and snapping, while the canopy fights fading, tearing, and stretching. From Florida heat to Pacific coast winds, Handy was built for real use in real conditions.
Sustainable + smart
Each canopy is made from recycled plastic bottles - about 80 per umbrella. Unlike cheap, virgin plastic umbrellas that quickly end up in landfills, Handy is built to last and designed with lower waste in mind.

Fast to pack, easy to carry
When it's time to go, tear-down is just as easy. Shake off the sand, zip it into its roomy carry bag, and you're done. No fighting with unwieldy parts or too-tight storage cases. It's the kind of gear that respects your time - and your back.
Made by beachgoers, for beachgoers
"I didn't set out to start a beach gear company," says Agnes, co-founder of Handy Beach Goods. "I just wanted a product I could set up by myself while keeping track of my kids. When I couldn't find it, we built it. Handy is fast, windproof, sun-safe, and designed for real life at the beach."
The Handy Beach Umbrella & Anchor System ( Beach Umbrellas with Anchor System - The World's Fastest Wind-Resistant Beach Shade Setup ) is available now at www.handybeachgoods.com

Disclaimer: While the Handy Beach Umbrella provides superior UV protection, no shade system offers 100% protection. Always use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and follow the American Cancer Society's sun safety guidelines. Always follow instructions for proper setup to ensure maximum safety and performance.

In 2023, Mass. hospitals pushed executive pay to new heights
That total reflected base salary, bonus pay, retirement benefits, and more. It was a 40.1 percent increase from the prior year, and included roughly $4.3 million in bonus and incentive pay. The amount is the highest total compensation reported by a Massachusetts hospital CEO in at least the last decade. In a statement, MGB Board Chairman Scott Sperling stood by Klibanski's compensation package, which he said was based on industry benchmarks with input from a consultant. Advertisement 'The challenges facing our industry are many, and the competition for top talent is unprecedented. It is imperative that we actively and robustly recruit and retain at every level to ensure we can expertly care for patients and communities for years to come,' Sperling said. 'Our objective, on average, is to base compensation for our senior executives at the 50th percentile of the current market, with performance driving any adjustments,' he said. Advertisement Previously, the health system has pointed to the leaders at other national health systems than her Massachusetts colleagues. Indeed, her 2023 salary ranked below some, including CEO of New York-based Northwell Health ($9 million) and Arizona-based Banner Health ($14 million). However Klibanski eclipsed others, including the CEOs at Cleveland Clinic ($7 million), and Mayo Clinic ($4.3 million). While the most recent compensation report lags by two years, Sperling pointed to how Klibanski had handled recent challenges as an example of what he said was her 'clear-eyed leadership,' including disruptive federal actions that have threatened research and an inpatient capacity crises. Dr. Anne Klibanski, with then-Governor Charlie Baker, pictured speaking at a coronavirus briefing in 2020. Sam Doran/Pool 'The Board of Directors fully supports Dr. Klibanski's compensation package ... which reflects her achievements and stewardship of an organization of this size and complexity,' Sperling said. Klibanski had plenty of company in the ranks of well-paid Massachusetts hospital executives in 2023. Dr. Kevin Tabb, who heads the state's second largest health system, Beth Israel Lahey Health, also reported a sizable increase, with his $5.4 million in total compensation representing a 93 percent increase from the prior year. The increases were a return to compensation Tabb reported in 2021, and were largely thanks to increases in bonus and incentive comp, as well as retirement and other deferred compensation. Dr. Eric Dickson, chief executive of UMass Memorial Health, reported a nearly 26 percent increase in total comp, to $3.9 million. The hospital said it changed its retirement plan in 2023, prompting an early payout of some benefits. That shift subsequently boosted the incentive compensation of several executives, including Dickson. Advertisement Similarly, Dr. Michael Gustafson, who left as president of UMass's flagship hospital, UMass Memorial Medical Center, in July 2023, reported a 60 percent increase in total comp to $2.8 million. Michael Dandorph, who helms Tufts Medicine, also reported a double digit increase in total comp. His $2.1 million total compensation was 32 percent higher than the previous year. Dr. Alastair Bell, CEO of Boston Medical Center Health System since June 2023 and its president since November 2022, saw his total comp increase by 34 percent to $1.9 million. Large jumps weren't universal. Other executives saw smaller changes including Dr. Kevin Churchwell ($3.2 million, down 5 percent) at Boston Children's Hospital, Dr. Mark Keroack ($2.8 million, a 4.8 percent increase) at Baystate Health where he served until 2024, and Dr. Laurie Glimcher ($2.5 million, up 5 percent) at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute which she led until 2024. Dr. Kevin Churchwell, CEO of Boston Children's Hospital, saw his compensation go down 5 percent from 2022 to 2023. Erin Clark/Globe Staff The data tracks with a study by the Harvard School of Public Health, which showed that executives overseeing large teaching hospitals nationally were the highest compensated. The study, However, there was no association between compensation and the degree of community benefit a hospital provided, nor was higher compensation associated with better patient mortality rates or readmission rates, according to the study. The Massachusetts Nurses Association lambasted executives for the pay, particularly as they said the quality of care at hospitals across the state has suffered. 'At a time when nearly 80% of Massachusetts nurses say hospital care has gotten worse in the last two years, it is deeply troubling that hospital CEOs are taking home enormous compensation packages while continuing to fail to ensure safe conditions for patients and direct care providers,' the nurses union said in a statement. Advertisement 'The very same executives receiving millions of dollars per year are making decisions not to invest in bedside care or listen to caregivers,' it said. The salaries reflect a time when hospitals were just beginning to climb out of the effects from the pandemic. Volume and revenue had begun to rebound in the year that for many hospitals ended September 2023, with Often, hospital executive compensation has been tied to a system's size and comparisons to others in the market, said Susan Malanowski, managing director of compensation consultant the Wilson Group. There are pressures on boards to hire competent executives, and the pool of applicants is smaller than it has been in the past. 'To be competitive, it is what it is,' Malanowski said. 'There is not really a big supply of competent CEOs or c-suite (executives).' While the most recent compensation data is for 2023, hospitals will be harder pressed to support large pay packages in 2025 and onward, Malanowski predicted. Uncertainty at the federal level will mean non-profit institutions will have to be more circumspect about where they set base salaries, and compensation increases are projected to be smaller.
