R-Series | Limited Warranty

All new R-Series by Almond surfboards are warranted to be free of manufacturing and materials defects for thirty (30) days from the date of purchase, subject to the full terms and conditions of the warranty below. All claims of any manufacturing or materials defect must be made within thirty (30) days directly to Almond Surfboards or to the retail store where the board was purchased, together with proof of purchase, using the procedure under the heading “Warranty Resolution” below.

If it is determined upon inspection by Almond Surfboards that a manufacturing defect is present, then Almond will repair the board or replace the board with like merchandise at its sole discretion.

No monetary refunds or exchanges for any product other than an R-Series surfboard will be made.

Any R-Series boards used for commercial purposes, such as rentals, surf schools and camps, are not warranted for any period of time.

The installation of any third party parts and/or accessories, such as fins, grips and/or mounts, on the R-Series board voids the limited warranty. Drilling or cutting into, and/or affixing objects to, the R-Series board also voids the warranty.

Although R-Series by Almond Surfboards are made with the finest materials and manufactured to the highest standards in the industry, because of the nature of surfing, Almond cannot warrant against damage to or breakage of a board caused or incurred during its use, even if such damage falls within the thirty (30) day limited warranty period.

Damage to any R-Series board resulting from wear and tear, misuse, exposure to the sun, heat or elements, or simply caused by the demands of the board when in use, including but not limited to boards that are wrecked, snapped, punctured, scraped, broken, crushed, compressed, dented, and fins or straps that are broken or damaged, or any other damage or breakage of any kind that is not caused by a manufacturing or materials defect, is not covered at any time.

Due to nature of materials used in the construction of soft surfboards in general, there could be some water absorption, which is normal and not a defect. This water typically drains after each use.
