Shibumi Shade (best beach shade I've ever used)

[redthumper9]

Don't know if anyone here has seen these yet, but it passed through my Facebook feed a couple of months ago and I was intrigued. First time on the sand bar this year and there were already a couple out there. Fast forward a couple of weeks and you could look down Emerald Isle in both directions and count 50 or more. My wife got me one for Father's Day and we used it for the first time last weekend. Simply amazing.... and the customer service is creepy good. From what I heard, it was created by a couple of college kids here in NC. It's a little pricey, but it works!

I'm confused. So you need wind to keep it up in the back?

Last time we went to the beach, it was littered with these everywhere. It was windy so they were all blowing back. I wondered what happens when no wind.
And i would feel the rustling of it flapping would annoy me

Yes, but most beach type places gonna have some wind..... its compact and easy to carry around.

The issue is..... it's $250

Ya gotta pay those college tuitions somehow. What happens when the wind shifts? It might be like getting a wet towel cracked on your ass in the locker room.

We bought one a couple of months ago. It's AWESOME! Easy to transport. Quick setup. And we love the sound it makes in the wind.

 

[redthumper9]

Lol! I can assure you, there is always enough wind on our beaches for it to work. That's part of the problem. Usually umbrellas get tossed even when anchored in the sand, and EZ up tents are big, cumbersome and usually rust out amd/or get tossed around by the wind as well. The material is VERY lightweight.......it flaps obviously, but makes only a little noise. Not sure about you lake boys, but for the coast, this thing is awesome.

I'm sure there's a way to rig up one of these into the rear cup holders on each side of the platform..... Would need the boat turned the right way but you could make a big shade area with it (on the coast).

Already thought about this! Maybe someone can come up with something.

I was just wondering when this was going to come up! LOL Can't wait to see the boat MODS!

I'd throw $75 at it.....$250? Bend ova!

Not as big but solves for the wind issue and a heck of a lot cheaper:

Give it six weeks and you can buy them for that on eBay direct from China.

 

[redthumper9]

I will certainly agree that it has a high price tag. And you're probably right, I'm sure they'll be a knock off that's much cheaper in the coming months. But I figure anyone that has bought a Yeti product has really no reason to complain about the price!

 

[mkbcaptain]

So you still can’t buy them directly from China, however they are now excepting pre-orders. For the ease of set up, light weight and small size of when it is packed up, $250 is well worth it in my opinion.

Shibumi Shade - World's Best Beach Shade

Shibumi Shade works with the slightest ocean breeze to cast ample shade. Better than any beach umbrella or tent, the Shibumi Shade is more portable, easier to assemble, provides more shade, and stands up to high wind better than any other beach umbrella or tent available.

We’ve had ours for two seasons now. Love it!!!

My wife said they went back up for sale this past Saturday and sold out in no time.

BTW, these are not allowed in some places, specifically Ocean Isle, NC won't let these be put up. No idea why, but there may be others. You'd think NC beaches would support our local products!

PS- Hope you guys on the coast did ok after Isaias!

 

[mkbcaptain]

Yes, some Beaches only allow Single traditional umbrellas. And some don’t even allow this until after a specific date. Myrtle beach comes to mind.
As far as the storm, wasn’t much for me and I live on the ICW. Lost power for 7 hours but no damage to anything. Boat was littered with leaves and straw. Gave her a bath this morning.
Seen a few trees down and some people still without power.
Now it’s absolutely beautiful out!

Grew up in South FL and been through more hurricanes than I can count... weather following a hurricane is almost like Mother Nature trying to make it up to you with a gorgeous day.

I also grew up in Florida and lived there until I joined the Marines. I miss those afternoon showers!
