Even if it’s just a straight rod, if a strong headwind blows he’s gonna have a bad time.
The way to do this right is to strap it to your neck to keep it from tipping.
he’s gonna have a bad time.

I was thinking his hat was one of those fisherman’s hats that has the chin strap that usually is gathered up by the brim, and the pole of the umbrella was passed through that to steady the sway, but sadly I think that’s just the clasp to hold the umbrella closed.
It’s the clamp that locks the telescoping rod in place
The way to do this right
