Be careful to avoid impact with stones and submerged items - they can break the fin or fin boxes. Do not run the board onto the beach - dismount before the nose touches the beach.
Do not expose your SUP board or board bag to excessive heat or sunlight when not in use. Whenever you are not using your SUP board (either during storage or transport to/from the beach) particular care and attention should be made to protect the board and bag from the excessive sun and heat.
THIS APPLIES ESPECIALLY TO BOARDS WITH BLACK PAINT, CLEAR CARBON AND DARK WOOD SHELL
Deluxe board bag is not designed for extended strong UV exposure (We suggest inexpensive poly tarp over board bag, when stored long term on boats, docks and decks).
Excessive exposure to the sun and/ or heat can result in the following unavoidable and undesirable consequences, particularly to the hull and deck pad when out of the water, which can become :
- Distorted in size and/or quality.
- Unstuck from the board.
- Significant fading of color.
Do not leave your board in the the bubble wrap that it ships in. Once you receive your board, immediately remove it from the bubble wrap. Bubble wrap can cause the board to heat up excessively.
These undesirable consequences are not covered under Warranty as they are due to a user or storage problem, and not related to the manufacturing or material quality of your product.

COVID 19 Service Update From Our President and Founder
Our company and partners are not able to consistently deliver service to our legendary levels during COVID-19, the same as most successful e-commerce companies experience recently. We are doing the best we can, however, we are impacted by staffing related issues and peak season sales volumes. Social distancing and reduced staffing has impacted service related to product availability, Live Chat and email customer service (phone service is suspended while we work from our homes), warehouse shipping times and freight company delivery service. We ask our valued customers to be patient and understanding during these challenging and exceptional times.
Customer Service Exceptions During COVID-19
We are very short staffed and working from our homes during COVID-19. Phone service is suspended and Live Chat is available Monday to Friday, 9;30am to 4pm eastern. We ask your patience with Live Chat and email replies, as we do not use bots and you are being assisted by vastly experienced principals of the company. We will reply to emails and process orders as quickly as possible, however, not to our usual standards. We are not available by telephone at this time. Weekday orders will be processed and you will be emailed within 24 hours. Weekend orders are processed on Mondays.
Product Availability Update:
Stock is extremely limited at this time due to reduced factory output, peak season demand and industry wide shortage of quality paddle boards - especially our Cruiser SUP® premium quality rigid stand up paddle boards. We are not responsible for web site inaccuracies regarding product availability. Additionally, product availability may change after you place your order, due to processing times. Our premium quality paddle boards are a lifetime investment for many customers - well worth the short wait!
