🚤 The 5 Types of People You’ll Meet at the Sandbar (And Which One Are You?)

June 12, 2025

Let’s be honest — the sandbar isn’t just a place. It’s a vibe. A floating island of chaos, chill, and questionable decision-making. And no matter what lake you’re on, the same cast of characters always seems to show up.

Here are the Top 5 People You’ll Spot at the Sandbar (probably within 5 minutes of anchoring).

1. 🎶

The DJ

You heard them before you saw them. Their boat has more speakers than seats, and they take their playlist very seriously.

You: “Mind if we play a quick song?”

Them: laughs in Bluetooth supremacy

Best case: they’re crushing the vibes.

Worst case: it’s 2 hours of remixed Pitbull. Either way, they’re not giving up the aux. Ever.

2. 🍺

The Overly Drunk Dip****

Started with a beer at launch. Peaked at 11:23AM.

Now? Standing on a paddleboard giving a motivational speech… to a flamingo float.

They’ve lost at least one flip flop, possibly a tooth, and definitely all sense of balance.

Boat? Drifting.

Cooler? Floating solo.

Vibes? Immaculate.

3. ⚓

The Newbie with the Wrong Anchor

You can see the panic from across the water.

They’ve anchored three times. The boat’s now 30 feet from where it started. Every time they hop in to fix it, the boat moves more.

“Why won’t it just stay?!”

Because, my friend… you brought a mushroom anchor to a sandy bottom fight.

(Hint: grab a SandShark and join the grown-ups.)

4. 🛟

The Float Queen

She’s got floats on floats on floats.

A unicorn. A donut. A six-person lounge. Two cupholder rafts.

Nobody really knows how she got them all on the boat, but respect.

She’s not touching the water. She’s got snacks. And somehow… her makeup is still perfect.

You do not approach the Float Queen without an offering.

5. 🍹

The Sandbar Mixologist

Rolling up like a mobile wet bar, this legend pushes their own float covered in bottles, cups, shot glasses, and mystery juice.

You don’t know what’s in that red Solo cup, but it burns and tastes like regret… and you love it.

They’ve got names for their drinks like:

“Lake Water Lobotomy”
“Sunscreen Surprise”
“Boat Gas & Pineapple”

You’ll lose track of time. You’ll lose your sunglasses. You’ll make a friend for life.

So… which one are you

(And no shame if you’re the float queen and the dip**** — we’ve all had weekends.)
