Water Sports Equipment Care Tip
Before returning wetsuits or SUPs, please rinse them with fresh water to remove any salt, sand, or chlorine. This helps us process your return faster and ensures we can accept the item back.
International Returns
For customers outside the UK:
- Return shipping costs are the customer’s responsibility
- Mark the package as “Returned Goods” to avoid customs charges
- Original shipping fees are non-refundable
