SUMMER SATURDAYS

Hey guys. We’re trying a little summer experiment. The normal Monday, Wednesday, Friday sends aren’t going anywhere. Those stay the same.

But we look at a lot of stuff every week. Some useful. Some ridiculous. Some weirdly perfect for summer dad life.

So on Saturdays this summer, we’re sending a quick roundup of things worth a look. Gear, finds, ideas, and maybe a few things that make you say, “I definitely don’t need that, but…”

The first edition is all beach-themed.

MAIN PICK
Sun Ninja XL – $170

Sun Ninja XL

Can’t go to the beach without shade. We dig the Sun Ninja. You’ll break a sweat setting it up, but it’s worth it.

🧠 Beach Tip From The Crew: Try spending your day/morning doing things you would normally do at night (out to eat, putt putt, etc.), then do the beach after naps in the afternoon into the evening. Less people, less heat, less meltdowns.
