Product Questions
  • How Does it Work?

    The Shibumi Wind Assist™ includes 2 custom-designed canopy clips, each attached to a sand anchor bag with a strong bungee cord.

    Setup is a breeze and takes less than a minute. Each clip attaches to a trailing corner of the Shibumi Shade® canopy, and to a sand anchor on the other end. By anchoring each corner with a strong bungee cord and sand anchor, the Wind Assist™ allows your Shibumi Shade® to better maintain its shape, even in less than ideal wind conditions.

  • Can I Use Wind Assist™ All The Time?

    You won't need to! Shibumi® beach shades are 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.

    The Wind Assist™ is best for those times on the beach when there's barely a breeze.

  • Can I Use The Wind Assist™ In High Winds?

    We don't recommend using the Wind Assist in moderate to high winds. Although the Wind Assist will remain safely attached even in high winds, we recommend removing it to avoid potential damage to your canopy from prolonged use in strong wind.

  • Will The Wind Assist™ Work With Any Shibumi Shade?

    Yes! We designed Wind Assist™ to work with any Shibumi Shade!

  • Can I Use My Shibumi Away From The Beach Now?

    Although the Wind Assist is helpful in low-wind conditions on the beach, we still don't recommend using your Shibumi Shade away from the beach, even with Wind Assist.

    Wind Assist

    We have owned a Shibumi Shade for 2 or 3 years now and is the BEST beach shade/umbrella we have ever owned!! The only drawback, or downside, is wind the quickly changes direction, which happens in the Outer Banks quite often or you lose the breeze. Now with the wind assist, that is no longer an issue!! No more tying the corners to the beach chairs…😂😂 Thanks Shibumi…great addition to the arsenal of AWESOME products!!

    Dock’s Review

    Back when you first started, I purchased Shibumi Shades not only for my wife and me, but also for each of my four siblings (NC, SC, FL, and HI). The one I sent my two sibs in HI (my brother in Kailua and my sister on the North Shore) were the first to be seen there. People were amazed at both their functional and aesthetic value.

    My brother in Kailua (east side of Oahu) has an almost constant proper breeze. He loves his Shibumi Shades (has two)! By the way, I also sent him your “wind assist, “ which he like me really digs it for its ability to not only aid should the wind die, but in his case to stop the flapping in the near constant stiff breeze there.

    On the North Shore where the wind is crazy variable, the Shibumi Shade did not work so well. The wind assist helps there as it holds things in place regardless of the wind direction.

    Back when I bought my first Shibumi Shade and noticed it’s malfunction here in AB on dead wind days, I called you guys suggesting maybe adding grommets to the outer corners so to accomplish what you have now accomplished free of grommets with your very smart “wind assist” device — works great!

    By the way, I also love my new chairs and the piggy-backing device that allows me to connect my wife’s chair to mine and backpack them both through the dunes and to the beach — crazy convenient!

    You guys are brilliant! Well done x 2 or 3! ☀️🌊👣🕶️💙💚♾️

    First Time User - Wind Assist

    I bought these to go along with our Shibumi we already had; using it on the beaches of the Gulf of America is great because depending on the weather, it may be very calm with little to no wind or it may be very very windy! Using the Wind Assist basically guaranteed that we had the shade we needed regardless of the amount of wind! They were super easy to use and tucked perfectly inside the Shibumi bag.

    No wind ancors

    Works as intended

    Own several Neso shades. Shibumi is lighter and easier

    great accessory !

    This accessory is so much more convenient than carrying extra stuff and trying to tie up the ends of the canopy. It comes in its own accessory bag that fits in with the main canopy. Fabulous-good job Shibumi!

    Simple but so effective

    Shibumi shade plus wind assist is a game changer for quick and effective beach cover. One of the best things I’ve bought in a long time, and well worth the outlay.

    Quick and Easy

    Went directly to your site to avoid the Big Box online store. Free shipping sealed the deal. Will put it to work next week at the beach
