Sumo Air - travel & beach chair review Do you like trekking, exploring the local forests, enjoying some time alone time in the lap of nature or simply soak in the sun on the beach? Do you wish to spend some time lounging in the most comfortable chair or bean bag while reading your favourite novel with a cup of tea? Do you wish you could take your most comfortable chair with you on every trip and adventurous outing you do? Do you wish all of these and a lot more and refrain from them owing to the lack of comfort or inability to lift the weight of the equipment; especially the sleeping bags? If this is the situation with you, then say bye-bye to all your worries as Sumo Air is HERE as your best partner and 'crash-pad' for all the above-said and lot more purposes. Sumo Air is a breakthrough in the field of comfortable furniture as it is as light as air and as comfortable as fleecy clouds. Sumo Air – What and How:Sumo Air is a self-inflatable chair which is suitable for travelling, beach days, lounging, regular sitting, as well as lots of other uses that come to your mind.
It is waterproof and is made up of the highest quality 300 grade Ripstop Nylon which makes the material ultra light and super tough. The chair comes with a bag (of the same material) and has a total weight of 1.2 KG or 2.7lbs. The chair is very easy to carry around and can be easily stored in the car in one corner. Whenever you are travelling you should carry one with you as you can enjoy some rest or a cup of coffee in the most comfortable chair in the world which is easy to use and carry around.The chair will inflate on its own as soon as it is straightened out and takes the shape as per the body of the person that sits in it. This is because it is filled with air. You can also use it as a pool chair for your children or even yourself. It is in fact quite amazing that you can carry it with you everywhere as it is easy on space and is very light weight. Sumo Air – Features:The Sumo Air comes with a lot of other goodies which are generally absent in the other chairs and bean bags. This is why it can be easily named as the best comfortable chair in the world.
The chair features a phone/tablet/magazine holder. This means that you don't have to reach out for the floor again and again just to answer the phone or to place your magazine. There is a bottle/cup holder to hold your drinks in place while you soak in the sun or turn the pages of your novel. Another cute little addition is the bottle opener which is pre-installed and can be very handy while opening the beers or other bottles. While sitting in the other inflatable chairs or bean bags, you have to be really careful if you have placed the opener on the chair itself. You can get yourself scratched too if the opener somehow slips into the folds of the chair or bean bag. But with the Sumo-Air, all you have to worry about is NOTHING.If you are thinking that you cannot take the chair to the camping and other such trips, then you are wrong. As the chair can be easily used as your camp bed because it comes with Tent Peg Loop which will enable the firm fixing of the chair to the ground. So, ditch your airbag and put this sleek, lightweight and super-comfy chair in your camping kit.
Miscellaneous Points:The Sumo-Air is well suited to watch the stars, fireworks, and public TV nights too. The chair is very easy to clean and maintain. Any kind of dirt can be easily removed by using washing with mildly warm water. If, however, the stains are deep, you can use the soap too. With Sumo-Air, you don't have to think about a comfortable chair ever again. You can take it with you anywhere you go and that too without occupying much space. You don't even need a hammock for the beach outings as the Sumo-Air will be enough for every kind of outing and even more than one person. Sumo-Air can be put to innumerable number of uses and can be rightly called as a NINJA CHAIR..!!Learn more about Sumo Air., , and many more.

Return to Article Index Culebra is a small Caribbean island, mostly covered in nature preserve that lies about 20 miles east of Puerto Rico. Culebra is part of the self governed commonwealth associated with the USA. You can reach Culebra via daily ferry from Fajardo. Currently there is no ferry service to or from Vieques. Maritime Transport Authority website for schedule and price information Average price is about $2.25 for a ferry ride and it takes about one to one and a half hours from Fajardo. You can reach the town by public transport, or by taxi which costs $80-100. You can also reach Culebra via daily airplane service from San Juan, Fajardo, Vieques.Air America Caribbean offers charter flights departing from all the airports in Puerto Rico (San Juan,Isla Grande, Fajardo, Ceiba and Vieques). This option is the best and easiest way to travel. Air Flamenco, Vieques Air Link have flights that leave from Isla Grande Airport or Ceiba to Culebra & Cape Air from the Luis Munoz Marin International airport, to Culebra.
These are small 8 passenger planes. Please be aware of the weight limits for luggage, especially if you plan to scuba dive on Culebra and will be bringing your own regulator or other heavy gear. Each passenger is allotted 25 (Air Flamenco) or 30 (Vieques Air Link) lb of luggage, so the lighter you can pack, the better. They will refuse to carry luggage of 70 lbs or more. San Juan Isla Grande airport(SIG) is approximately a $25 15 minute cab ride from San Juan International airport. The plane ride may cost $70 one way and take 35 minutes. If you are 1 adult, this is the better option. If you are two people traveling, the taxi from San Juan to Fajardo might be your better option. For 2 adults it would cost approximately $45 per person with cab and ferry one way. For a budget traveler, you may also want to consider taking one of the local buses to Fajardo. Prices may be negotiated if you speak Spanish, and $10-$20 per person should cover the two to three hour ride. This highway tends to get busy.
Check what time the last ferry leaves Fajardo. I believe it is 3pm. The buses are vans that depart sporadically, do not have air conditioning, and primarily serve locals. Tourists may have difficulty persuading taxi drivers that you want to go to the bus station. It is important to note that although the ferry is a cheap option it is extremely busy during the high season (holidays and summer months). During these times the ferry will be extremely hard to use as people camp out as early as 4 in the morning for tickets. I would recommend taking a flight to avoid the hassle of the very and the chance of not being able to get to the island. If you are returning from scuba diving on Culebra, it is safe to fly in the small 8-person planes within a couple hours of your dive. These planes are not pressurized at all, so the cabin pressure is roughly the same as normal atmospheric pressure. There are several native-run taxi services on the island, ferrying tourists around town. They charge a reasonable price.
There are also several businesses on the island that rent jeeps, scooters, golf carts and bicycles, the majority of which are located near the airport, such as Jerry's Jeep, Carlos Jeep Rental and Axel's. There is also a AVIS car rental in town and a bicycle rental at the ferry dock. Golf carts and scooters use very little gas, and they can get you almost anywhere on the island in very little time. Jeeps cost about $60 a day and a golf cart about $45 a day. If you want to see the many beaches on all sides of the island, renting a jeep, scooter or golf cart for 1-2 days will enable you to pretty much cover the entire island. You can take the shuttle from the ferry dock to any of these businesses. One of several WWII-Era American Sherman tanks stranded in the sand of Flamenco Beach. Culebra National Wildlife Refuge map A few boutiques offer island made jewelry and art. Try above Dingy Dock. There are several small restaurants on the island as well as small hotels which have restaurants.
Reservations are recommended if you plan on going to a hotel restaurant. Several food vendors hawk their wares daily at the entrance to Flamenco Beach. The grilled meat-on-a-stick is both delicious and cheap. Lots of bottled water and other cold drinks from vendors with ice chests. There are half a dozen or so guest houses, such as the Palmetto Guesthouse, [10], and small hotels on Culebra. The term "resort" is a bit misleading as the average facility will be 2-3 stars at best. This is a small island after all! Some of the older hotels are barely a one star. Service is typical laid back (i.e., slow) island style. Camping is permitted for up to four months at a time on the beautiful government-run Flamenco Beach, just a few miles outside of the main town. Melones Beach (by Mangotree Culebra) Many private apartments are also available on the island, most can be book through Culebra Vacation Planners [13]. Dengue fever is carried by the mosquitoes on Culebra, so a good mosquito-repellant spray is invaluable.
Keeping an oscillating electric fan running at night will be useful for 1) keeping cool, 2) generating white noise to drown out the incessant calls of the island's endemic roosters, and 3) keeping the mosquitoes off, since they are weak flyers and will be blown away by the fan. If you are scuba diving, be aware that DEET, the most common and effective mosquito repellant ingredient, can melt/dissolve some plastics that are used in dive equipment. Many manufacturers expressly mention damage from insect repellants as not being covered under warranty. There are alternatives to DEET such as picaridin that may be less effective but will not put your equipment at risk. More of a nuisance than a real health risk, roosters are nevertheless omnipresent on Culebra. There are wild chickens running loose pretty much everywhere on the island. Since there are so many roosters vying for dominance, they crow around the clock, not only at sunrise, and the incessant crowing can be difficult to sleep through.
