Apparel and footwear must be unworn, unwashed, and have all original tags intact.

PLEASE NOTE: Custom completed builds, gift cards, and clearance/sale items are final sale and cannot be returned unless defective.

Drop by our Westlake shop with the item(s) and your receipt or online order number during opening hours (Mon–Sun, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM). We’ll process your exchange or refund on the spot.

3. Warranty & Broken Decks

Skateboarding is high-impact, and breakages happen!

Wood / Decks: Snapped boards, razor tail, chip-offs, or impact damage from landing incorrectly are considered normal wear-and-tear and are not covered by manufacturer warranty.

Hardware & Components: Trucks, wheels, and bearings carry standard manufacturer warranties against manufacturing defects (e.g., axle slipping, cracked casting, seam defects). Contact us if you suspect a defect, and we’ll liaise with the supplier on your behalf.
