Bumruk is for everyone who goes outside and has a bum.  From the beach to the park, to a concert, a hiking trail to just studying at your campus lawn—Bumruk helps you carry everything you need and instantly gives you a place to sit whenever you feel like it.

Lightweight, weatherproof & sandproof

Being based in West Palm Beach, Florida, bike rides to the beach were nearly a daily occurrence for us. And though we loved being at the beach, the ride to the beach was becoming a hassle.

We found ourselves carrying a backpack, and occasionally filling it with a few beverages and a towel, but without the comfort of a chair our beach days were often cut short—and we often returned back with sore bums.

We noticed that others at the beach had a similar dilemma, either bringing a backpack or a chair but rarely both—who has the time and capacity for that. This is where the idea for Bumruk was born.  Our goal was to create something that is as comfortable and convenient as our favorite backpacks, but has the added usability of a chair.

Since then, we have been working our bums off daily to turn this idea into a reality.  After months of research and testing various materials, we created our prototype, made improvements, sourced manufacturing, and are now ready to launch the Bumruk to the public.   Here are just a few of our earlier drawing board ideas.

Choose from our beach bum add-ons.

Indiegogo is a community full of amazing makers, creators, and early adopters just like us. While biking to the beach we realized the need to improve the beach-going experience and created Bumruk. After months of product development and constant improvements, we not only have the Bumruk, but we also have the manufacturing and fulfillment lined up and ready to go.  With your help we can place our first purchase order and turn this idea into a reality.

Your support will be going directly to our first purchase order and you will be rewarded with one of the first Bumruks off the production line at a discounted price. Plus a FREE beach towel! Thank you for the support. We can’t wait to see you at the beach!

We’re conscious of the ever-increasing plastic waste and its devastating effect on our environment. Bumruk has been designed with sustainability in mind so the product and its packaging are completely recyclable.

We’ve worked hard to design Bumruk to be the last beach chair backpack you’ll have to purchase and in the rare case that certain pieces do wear out, they can be easily swapped out or replaced without having to replace the entire Bumruk.

The built in versatility also means that this isn’t just a beach chair but can be used for various applications as well as your everyday backpack.

There’s always so much more we can do, so we’ll be on the lookout for new ways to improve our manufacturing process to minimize our environmental footprint as well as looking to partner with ocean conservation efforts.

So far every stage has gone according to schedule or even run ahead of schedule. We have fulfillment in place, and with your help, we will be delivering Bumruks to backers this summer.

The global pandemic has introduced obstacles, but we’ve already worked with our partners to update our timelines accordingly. We’ll maintain frequent communication on the progress as things move forward. With our strategic team in place—our partners have 30+ years in sourcing and manufacturing!— we’ve planned ahead to expect the unexpected and deliver Bumruk to you on time.

This campaign is a pre-order for our product so the funds raised through Indiegogo will be used to manufacture Bumruk for our backers.
