David, I have one of those wonderful, awful tents, too. We use to take it to Cape May, NJ when the kids were little. (They are no longer little). Those tents are a great way to ruin a wonderful day at the beach. There I would be with two small sunburn children at the end of the day as I am trying to wrangle that tent into a round to shove it into the bag. (Without swearing too loud). Most of the time a nice man would come over and help. It now resides in my garage and I have no plans to take it our of the bag ever again.
I thought they were awful too...until I finally figured out how to fold the darn thing. It's annoying they don't have a very good, clear video on how to fold it (they do for the tents) but like you, we often ended the day simply squishing it as small as possible when leaving the beach, and leaving it as that.
