Shipping & Returns

SHIPPING INFORMATION

How are shipping surfboards handled?

  • Surfboards are excluded from Free Freight. Standard surfboard rates are $125 to most California addresses. Additional fees will apply per shipment to location outside of CA based on your zone. We may request an additional $60 for delivery to your residence outside of CA. We do not currently ship boards over 8'0" to Arizona, Colorado, Nevada or Texas due to carrier limitations. If you have questions or wish to reach out regarding quote, email logan@southcoast.com. We will work with our preferred freight handlers to find the best price to have your board safely delivered and contact you with any additional fees if necessary.

  • Your purchase is with South Coast but your order may be fulfilled in part from South Coast directly and or from Exchange Collective which allows us to offer you an expanded inventory.
