I bought the Shibumi Shade for our trip to North Topsail Beach. We were intrigued by the design, having never seen them before the previous years trip to North Topsail Beach. Easy to setup and did a great job keeping our young grandson out of the sun. It’s a little challenging getting back in the bag, but I would highly recommend the Shibumi Shade!

This was a last-minute purchase for us as we finalized our Edisto Island family trip this past Labor Day weekend. We had initially planned to pack our bulky, and always troublesome to set up, canopy, but through an executive family decision we made the purchase. This was the easiest to erect and most effective sunshade I have ever utilized. The first time we put it up, we had all hands on deck and we didn't need any of them because of how ingenious this product is! With its lightweight frame and combo carrying/sand-bag this is an absolute must-have for even the "once in a while" beech goer. Absolutely love it!

I bought a Shibumi Sun Shade for my F33 trimaran. Instead of sand, I anchor the pole into capped PVC tubes, and put a shackle on the cap so that there is some flexibility on where the pole gets attached to the boat. The tension in the poles mean you don’t need to secure the PVC tubing top and bottom. Just secure the shackles to something like a pad eye.

The Shibumi is expensive, but nothing like the cost (or the weight) of a bimini. And anyway, you get what you pay for. Also, it’s easy to move the Shibumi around as the sun moves across my boat. The pictures I’m posting were taken in the late afternoon.

My sister and I purchased Shibumis several years ago! We have so many family members now on our annual beach vaca that we double up the shibumis! Oak Island NC faces south west so there’s always an incredible breeze! So grateful you created such a great product!

The Shibumi Shade is lightweight and easy to set up. I never worry that it will blow away and endanger others because the ends of the poles are rounded. Since it is lightweight and thus easy to carry. I see everyone at the beach struggling with keeping their umbrella from blowing away on a windy day. I don't have that problem.
