Custom Surfboards / The Arakawa Way
As any surfer knows, we cannot guarantee every board will be magic, but if we make a mistake designing or building your new board we will make it right.

Contact us within 15 days of receiving it and we will start another order to correct the issue and trade it out with your initial board at our expense.

Treat the original board like your own until the replacement arrives. Wax it up and surf it. We will take it back in whatever condition it is by the time you receive the new board.

How this process looks based on your location:
• Oahu - once your replacement order is ready, swing by our shop in Waialua with the original board and we will make the swap.
• Anywhere that requires shipping - We will send the second board in the same shipping method as the original order. Once the replacement is received, use the packing materials provided in the new box to repack the old board. We will provide all shipping labels and AWB's required for the return shipment. If your order requires airport pick up, we will coordinate all details so that you can do everything in one trip.

Shipping Damages
• These will have to be approached on a case by case basis depending on the product and the ability to replace or repair. Our goal is to deliver products and surfboards in perfect condition. We prefer replacing any damaged items over repair. In cases in which travel dates and locations add complexity, we will do whatever we can to make things right.
• If your order arrives with shipping damage, please notify us ASAP (within 24 hours). All shipments include insurance coverage for the total cost of goods. Email us at info@arakawasurfboards.com with a detailed description including photos of shipping materials and items within.
• For surfboards shipped via air cargo (airport pick up), it is important to inspect and report any damages with a shipping facility representative at the time of pick up. This simplifies the whole claims process and allows us to resolve the issue quickly.
