FAQs
We aim to ship within 24hrs of receiving your order. If there is a delay we will contact you and notify you of any changes. During peak holiday periods we may have a slight delay with increased orders but we do our best to get you in the water as soon as possible.
Every order ships with the lowest-cost, fastest option available for what you’ve bought and where it’s going. Surf hardware — fins, leashes, traction, boardbags, wax and the like — is a flat $9.99 Australia-wide and ships free on orders over $60. Boards are bulky, so board shipping is priced by size and destination: add the board to your cart and enter your address at checkout to see the exact charge before you pay. Tip: add $80 of hardware to a board order and the board ships free too. For surfboard deliveries we prefer a business address so your board is safe after drop-off.
