It’s a loser on a zero wind day, but that has only happened once. Usually at a beach like Orient, this would never fail. We have had too many umbrellas take off.



Living in North Carolina, where the Shibumi originated, and where they are the predominant beach shade, I can tell you that the flapping noise that they make is just awful! We have a Cool Cabana here , and always cringe when a Shibumi sets up near us.
