FAQ / Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: I understand that many of the boards you carry are manufactured in Thailand. Why aren’t they way cheaper than the prices I find online in other countries?

 A: While it is true that most of our boards are made here in Thailand, the manufacturers make the boards for ‘export only’ so we still have to pay the same import duty as if we were buying from overseas. 

We do believe that, in most cases, our prices are equal to or lower than the average price you’d find in overseas surf shops.

Of course, one can almost always find a cheaper price at some online megastore.  If buying from them works out cheaper and more convenient for your situation, by all means go for it!

 

Q: Do you have every item on your website in stock?

A: If you choose a size and color for the item from the dropdown menu and it shows a price (as opposed to “Sold Out”) then yes, we do have it in stock.

 

Q: Do you only have the stuff on the website in your shop?

A: While the majority of our stock is on the website, we do also have many other related and specialized items for surfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, etc that are not shown on the site. Contact us and let us know what you’re looking for. Contact Us

 

Q: Do you deliver?

Q: Can you special order board models or sizes that you don’t have in stock?
