: However, don't forget to weigh it down if you are on land in windy
: weather with witnesses around - they're not quite as quick off
: the mark as a beach umbrella but much more embarassing.

Oh man tell me about it, once on a mountain ridge above treeline I had it lift off my pack and fly a good 15 feet up-slope. I've since added ropes for the portaging and have accidentally flown it as a (admittedly crappy) kite on a few occasions.
