At Wingboarding Shop, we’re as committed to your satisfaction as we are to finding the perfect wind conditions. While we meticulously inspect every kiteboarding and hydrofoil product before shipping, we understand that sometimes gear needs to be returned or exchanged. Our policy is designed to be as smooth as gliding on calm waters.

We accept returns within 15 days of delivery for most items, provided they are in original condition with all tags and packaging intact. Your satisfaction is our priority, just like choosing the right foil for your skill level.

For safety and hygiene reasons, we cannot accept returns on:

  • Harnesses and Harness Accessories (worn items)
