Returns & damage
Last updated: August 2026
Short version: originals are final sale, but if a shipped piece arrives damaged, we'll make it right. Placeholder legal copy — to be reviewed by counsel before launch.
Final sale
Every piece is a one-of-a-kind original, so we can't accept returns or exchanges for change of mind, fit, or color. Please ask questions and request extra photos before you buy — we're glad to provide them.
Damage in transit
If a shipped piece arrives damaged, contact us within 7 days of delivery at hello@secondfin.co with:
- Your order number
- Photos of the damage to the artwork
- Photos of the packaging, inside and out (keep all packaging until the claim is resolved)
How claims are resolved
Because each piece is irreplaceable, resolution depends on the damage. Where repair is possible, we'll restore the piece at no cost to you, covering transport. Where it isn't, we'll refund the purchase price. We'll agree on the path with you before anything moves.
Local pickup
For pickup orders, please inspect your piece at handoff. Once it leaves with you, transit-damage coverage doesn't apply — though if something happens later, get in touch anyway; repairs are often possible at reasonable cost.
Reclaimed character is not damage
Marks from a board's surfing life — repaired dings, discoloration, texture under the seal — are documented in each piece's photos and story and are part of the work. They aren't grounds for a damage claim.
