Return Policy

As a small business, we strive to make sure you purchase the right product in the first place. But things happen, so if you need to return your purchase we ask that you mail it back to us at: 70 Brown Street, North Kingstown, RI 02852.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide return labels or refund shipping costs (unless we screwed up, then we’ll fix it). Kayaks and Standup paddleboards are final sale. If there are damages in shipping, we will rectify those separately with the freight company.

Exchanges

Need a different size? Call us at (401) 295-4400 or email us to process this. We will not ship the new item until we receive the original one, as it saves you and us money (and isn’t that what we’re all after in this crazy thing called life?).
