How does it work?
Shibumi® beach shades float effortlessly on the breeze to provide shade. Just 2-3 mph of breeze is all Shibumi beach shades need, and most beaches will have a sufficient breeze more than 90% of the time. You can check the wind conditions at your favorite beach using this website: windfinder.com

What if there's no wind?
No Wind? No problem. Meet the Wind Assist™
This handy accessory quickly attaches to the trailing corners of your Shibumi Shade® canopy, anchoring each side with sandbags to create a tent-like shape.
Best for those times on the beach when there's barely a breeze, the Wind Assist™ helps your Shibumi Shade® continue to provide shade even in less than ideal wind conditions.
-
Will I be able to set it up by myself?
Definitely! Shibumi® beach shades are designed to be easily set up by one person.
-
Which size is right for me?
The Shibumi Shade Classic® beach shade will easily accommodate a group of 6 sitting comfortably side by side in the shade, with room leftover for bags, coolers, beach gear, etc!
The Shibumi Shade Mini® beach shade is best for small groups (1-2 people), and provides about half of the shaded area of the original Shibumi Shade.

Do Shibumi® beach shades only come in one color?
We make both the Shibumi Shade® and Shibumi Shade Mini® in our signature blue and teal colors. We love the way these colors complement the colors of the water found close to shore. When you see our blue and teal colors on the beach, you'll also know it's a genuine Shibumi® beach shade.
