Useful answers

Return FAQ

Open each question for additional guidance before beginning your request.

When does the 30-day window begin?

The return window begins on the date the carrier marks your order as delivered. Your request must be submitted before the end of the thirtieth calendar day.

Can I return equipment after using it in water?

Products showing signs of water use, including salt, sand, moisture, sunscreen, staining, odor, abrasion, inflation marks, or wear, generally cannot be accepted as a standard return.

If the product failed during its first intended use, report the issue as a possible defect and provide clear photographs and a description of what occurred.

Are oversized boats, boards, and shelters eligible?

Eligible oversized items can be returned, but they may require special packaging, a freight label, or a scheduled collection. Keep all original protective materials and wait for specific shipping instructions.

Where should I send my return?

The correct destination is supplied after approval. Return locations may vary by product, so do not mail an item to the published business address unless your return instructions expressly direct you there.

What if I discarded the retail packaging?

Submit the request with photographs of the item and every included component. Eligibility will be reviewed individually. Missing or damaged packaging may affect approval when it is required to protect the product or confirm that the item is complete.

Can gift cards or final-sale items be returned?

Gift cards are not returnable. An item clearly identified as final sale before purchase is not eligible for a standard return unless it arrives damaged, defective, incomplete, or incorrect.

What happens if an exchange is unavailable?

You may choose another available eligible option or receive a refund to the original payment method after the returned item passes inspection.

Should I ship an item before receiving approval?

No. Unapproved packages may be sent to the wrong location, delayed, or disconnected from your request. Always wait for the return destination and shipping instructions.
