There are a few reasons why Afterpay may say your order limit is too high

• there may be insufficient funds on your payment card to process the first 25% payment
• you may be a new customer with a $500 limit
• the amount you have outstanding with other open orders may be too high
• Please contact Afterpay if you are having further issues with your account. We are unable to access this information for you

Surfboards aren’t covered under warranty due to the nature of the product and the unpredictable environment they’re used in but are covered for manufacturing errors. For any issues with your surfboard please contact our team and we’ll be able to determine if the damage or defect is due to manufacturing or if it’s caused by user damage.

Products, excluding surfboards, are covered under normal manufacturer warranty. For any product enquiries or claims please our customer service team to get you back up and running as quickly as possible.

We offer Surfboard insurance to selected states within the USA. The insurance is provided through an external company, Surfcare. Any surfboard that is 30 days or less old can be insured.

Our custom surfboards are made in Australia and we have made sure all recommended procedures are implemented within our factory and warehouse while continuing production without delays. The factory is being cleaned regularly and we take the health advice from the government very seriously.

We are constantly changing our procedures as new developments arise. Some of our staff members are working from home when required and we are constantly practising social distancing.

At this point in time our showrooms are open in both Mona Vale and El Segundo. Please get in touch with our team to arrange collection of your surfboard prior to arriving to prevent overcrowding in the stores. You may be required to wait in your vehicle to follow social distancing guidelines.

We accept returns on hardware and soft goods that are unused and in the original packaging. Return shipping is the buyers responsibility. Once we have received the goods in and examined their condition we will process the refund.

We don’t accept returns on Surfboards and HSSTUDiO custom orders. We understand that you may have ordered the incorrect size or model for your preferences so we have set up an Exchange program to ensure that everyone is surfing the correct board that is right for them and the conditions you’re surfing. Read our “Wrong Size, Just Exchange it” program below.

We don’t accept returns or exchanges on HSOutlet Factory second surfboards or items on sale. These sales are final.

Wrong Size, Just Exchange it was put in place to ensure we get you on the correct surfboard. If you want to exchange it to another size, artwork, model or fin system we can help you out even if you have waxed it up and used your new surfboard.

You have 14 days from the date you receive your surfboard to process an exchange to another surfboard. Providing there is no damage to the surfboard we will happily swap it over to another board of choice.

HSSTUDiO allows customisation for all made-to-order Haydenshapes models across the range. Haydenshapes doesn’t accept customer-submitted designs or artworks for customisation.

Haydenshapes allows customers to select personalized dimensions for length, width and thickness, however we have set certain limitations in place across each area to ensure that the performance and function of the final surfboard design is not jeopardized. HSSTUDiO allows customers to select artworks, colours, logos and fin setups based on the available Haydenshapes style palette, which will be regularly updated. Certain artworks are limited to certain technologies based on Haydenshapes brand aesthetic and our aim to produce a beautiful product.

Once you select a board model, follow the steps in the HSSTUDiO designer. As you select different options, the image of the product in the center will update accordingly.

STEPS:

• Materials (technology)
• Dimensions (length, width, thickness)
• Fins (fin setup, type, colour)
• Artwork (Haydenshapes Style Palette)
• Logo (logo type and placement)
• Finish (board polish options)

Yes. Names and nicknames can be added to the board where the size and dimensions are located along the bottom center, around the fin area. These are handwritten along with the board dimensions. You can find this option by selecting DIMENSIONS > ABOUT YOU > CUSTOMISED NAME ON BOARD. There are name length limitations – 12 characters max. Each board comes with a unique product code, also written on the board, so that we are able to track your product in production.

Currently custom surfboards are taking 10-14 weeks to complete due to the increased demand and material shortages. Orders may take a few weeks to start based on the amount of orders already in the queue. Please keep in mind that surfboards are all hand made and times will vary based on a number of factors so please be patient. We want to get your board to you as quickly as possible but we won’t sacrifice the quality of your board to speed it up. Good things take time!

Unfortunately no. All sales through the HSSTUDiO are made-to-order specific to you, therefore are final and non refundable. If the board you have purchased is incorrect or you find that it’s not suitable after the first surf then you can exchange it using our Wrong Size, Just Exchange it policy. This will allow you to swap your board to a new board within 14 days of receiving it. Please read the terms and conditions when exchanging.
