Best Shade Around

We’ve had our Shibumi Shade for two years and I wish I had a dollar for every inquiry at the beach, I would easily have 200 dollars in my pocket. I’ve been at the beach in 25 mph winds and it’s the only shade up. I’m sitting under it right now. Thanks UNC grads.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

Amazing

Our Shibumi was great this week on vacation. We had a few very windy days and our Shibumi never failed. The cards were great as several people asked us where we bought it. And very easy to set up. Great shade!

Bought It For Hawaii

The Shibumi sets up super easy! Took less than 2 minutes with 2 of us the first time we used it.

Love This Thing!

Best invention since sliced bread! This could not be easier or better. I am in my (early) seventies, and my friend and I can easily put it together. I swear it drops the temperature ten degrees! Can’t thank you enough for your genius!

Awesome!

Easy to pack, easy to set up, provides extra shade, won’t pull up in a wind and hurt people, it’s quiet and beautiful! 100% recommend. No more stupid umbrella rentals, lugging umbrellas in the sand, and squishing together for a few feet of shade.

Shibumi Lovers

Everyone who comes to our house at the beach just loves it. The only complaint I’ve heard is they wish they would’ve thought of it first.

Awesome Product

Great product..worth the price! We’ve had ours for years!

FAQ

How does It work?

WIND POWERED®
The Shibumi Shade canopy is designed to float effortlessly on the ocean breeze. As little as 3 mph of wind is all it takes to keep the canopy floating comfortably.
Because the canopy has no rigid structure, the Shibumi Shade cannot fly away in a strong gust, or tumble down the beach.
Check the current wind conditions at your beach, and view wind forecasts anywhere in the world here: windfinder.com

Does Shibumi need wind to work?

The Shibumi Shade does need wind in order to work properly!
Just 2-3 mph of breeze is all Shibumi needs, and most beaches will have a sufficient breeze more than 90% of the time.
Sometimes, the wind at the beach may simply not cooperate, and that makes Shibumi Shade use difficult. 
Normally the wind blows from the water to the land (called a sea breeze), and the wind is very consistent in speed and direction. Here's a video showing Shibumi Shades in normal wind conditions on the beach.
Occasionally the wind blows from the land to the water (called a land breeze), and the wind is less consistent in speed and direction. On these rare days (usually there's a storm front or pressure system in the area), there's nothing you can do except wait for the winds to return to normal
It's also worth noting that earlier in the day, before the air temperature has had a chance to warm up enough to drive a good breeze, the wind may be too light for ideal use. However, most sunny days at the beach are sufficiently windy, particularly by the afternoon.
Before heading out to the beach, check the wind speed and direction using this great website (they also have a free smartphone app) called windfinder.com to make sure that the conditions are optimal for Shibumi Shade.

Can I set it up by myself?

Definitely! Shibumi Shade was designed to be easily set up by one person in less than 3 minutes.

What’s the right size for me?

The Shibumi 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 new Shibumi Shade Mini is best for small groups (1-2 people) and great for air travel, fitting perfectly in a carry-on suitcase.

What’s the warranty?

When you buy a Shibumi Shade from us, your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed!
If you're not satisfied, no worries! Please let us know so that we can make it right. We'll be glad to provide Free Repair Kits for small nicks and tears, and poles can be easily swapped out. We’re dedicated to making the world's best beach shade from the highest quality materials, and our number one priority is simply that you love your Shibumi Shade. If anything goes wrong, please let us know - we'll be glad to help!

Does the Shibumi Shade only come in one color?

Both the Shibumi Shade and Shibumi Shade Mini are currently only offered in our signature blue and teal colors. We love the way these colors complement the colors in the ocean. When you see our signature blue and teal colors on the beach, you'll also know it's a genuine Shibumi Shade.

Is it not allowed in certain places?

To our knowledge, Shibumi Shades are allowed on every beach in the United States except 2 beach areas: the Grand Strand (Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, and Horry County, SC and Rehoboth/ Bethany Beach, DE.
Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach allow only traditional umbrellas between Memorial Day and Labor Day. (Shibumi Shades are allowed after Labor Day). Horry County, SC allows only traditional umbrellas year round.
Rehoboth and Bethany Beach, DE allow only traditional umbrellas year round.

Where does the name “Shibumi” come from?

Shibumi is a design concept meaning “effortless perfection,” and it’s not only our namesake, but a concept we’re constantly inspired by. So, when we noticed poorly designed products cluttering our perfect beach moments, making our time and space together anything but effortless, we set out to change that. We create products that work with the world around us, instead of competing against it - bringing a beachside sensibility that’s all about ease.
