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.

Definitely! Shibumi® beach shades are designed to be easily set up by one person.

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.

We know that not everything always works out how it should.  A perfect beach week gets ruined by rain, a vacation gets off to a slow start with a flat tire, and your beach gear gets damaged and you aren’t sure how to fix it.

We want to make it right for you - which is why we have our Let’s Make it Right Promise.  If something happens to your Shibumi Shade, Chair, or accessory – and it’s on us – contact us and we’ll repair or replace it for you. 

If it’s something else that happens – a kid (or a flying fish) puts a hole in your shade, you lose a cup holder for the chair – contact us, and we’ll still work with you to fix that too. 

 When you reach out to us, have the following information ready to get your issue resolved as quickly as possible:

• Order Name
• Order email address
• Description of issue
• Photographs if required.

This is how we’ve always tried to act at Shibumi, like a trusted friend that you know you can go to when something unexpected happens.
