Chair-Equipped Beach Backpacks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Sunboard' Offers a Comfortable Place to Sit and More

— September 16, 2021 — Art & Design
The 'Sunboard' is an accessory for beachgoers that will provide them with a number of essential features to keep them comfortable when spending extended periods on the coast. The accessory functions as a backpack to keep a number of items on hand when heading out for the day, which can then be unloaded upon arrival at the beach or a park to switch to the chair mode. This will provide a sitter with a dedicated spot on the ground to sit as well as essential back support to allow for true relaxation.

The 'Sunboard' weighs in at just 3.69-pounds and is strong enough to easily support adults of all sizes to relax back when spending extended periods in the great outdoors.
Trend Themes
1. Chair-backpack Combos - The combination of a backpack and a chair provides a convenient and comfortable way for outdoor enthusiasts to carry their gear and take a load off.
2. Multi-functional Outdoor Gear - Outdoor products that serve more than one purpose, like the Sunboard, provide added value for consumers who want to make the most of their time outside.
3. Lightweight Outdoor Accessories - Outdoor products that are lightweight and portable, like the Sunboard's 3.69-pound weight, make it easy for consumers to bring gear with them and stay comfortable on-the-go.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Recreation - The Sunboard is a great example of how outdoor recreation companies are innovating to create convenient and comfortable gear for campers, hikers, and beachgoers.
2. Travel and Tourism - Travel companies can benefit from trends like lightweight outdoor gear, which make it easier for consumers to pack and travel with the necessary gear for a comfortable outing.
3. Consumer Goods - Manufacturers of consumer goods, particularly those focused on the outdoors, can find opportunities in the multi-functional design of products like the Sunboard.
