"The Evolution of the Beach Umbrella Anchor is Complete!"
Hi ! I'm Mike Haney, the inventor of Mikes Spikes sand anchors. For over 40 years I've come to the beautiful Carolina coastline to vacation and surf fish. During some of those early beach trips, I began to notice the daily parade of vacationers who were struggling to anchor their beach umbrellas. With no intention of joining them, I quickly discovered that a beveled piece of pvc pipe, driven deep in the sand with a sledgehammer, worked very well. Although unpractical, this combination always guaranteed that our large umbrella would be the last standing in any condition.
Over the past 10 years, the newest gimmick on the beach has been these umbrella holders that screw in the sand. These imposters were obsolete from the start, as much too often , their difficult installation and weak hold leads to failure in moderate winds. With the obvious need for a simple and reliable sand anchor still unresolved, I realized that I had been using the proper concept all along, but not in the most efficient manner. The sledgehammer has been eliminated, and replaced with a lighter built in drive weight. The revolutionary result became Mikes Spikes sand anchors, and now they're available to you.
Unlike the screw in holders that are poorly designed to displace and loosen the sand, Mikes Spikes sand anchors easily cut into the sand in less than 20 seconds without disturbing its natural hard packed state. It's easy one hand installation is a distinct advantage for those who prefer to move their umbrella with the tide or to surf fishermen who change locations frequently. It's superior strength easily supports beach umbrellas up to 9'. This is much more convenient than the pop-up style canopies which are rapidly being banned on many beaches, and can take up to 30 minutes to set up and take down. Another unique feature of Mikes Spikes sand anchors is that they hold the umbrella pole above the sand which allows the user to stand up comfortably underneath without stooping.
This is not a toy ! Mikes Spikes is a commercial grade sand anchor that will hold its ground in winds stronger than you'll care to be in, or against any "whopper" you've hooked in the surf. As the new standard for sand anchors, I'm certain that you will be totally satisfied with it's optimal performance and fair price. Not only is this a better way, now it's the only way.
