HawaiiSurf consistently delivers fast and careful shipping, with many customers noting items arrive in perfect condition, well protected packaging, and delivery times meeting or exceeding expectations. The store earns praise for attentive, professional, and responsive customer service, including helpful phone support, proactive follow-up, and knowledgeable recommendations that align with customers’ needs. Product quality and accuracy are highlighted across a range of items, from boards to wetsuits, with descriptions matching expectations and favorable price-quality perceptions. The return process and after-sales support are described as efficient and reliable, with quick responses and easy handling when returns are needed.
Site not up to date. Poor communication to inform me that my product was not available, cancellation and long refund delay, in short, to use my nephew's expression, 'nothing is going well!'

I am very satisfied with my skateboard order, but I am very angry about the delivery. I found the box behind the gate of my house, on the ground and under a downpour without even being warned. The box and the board were wet. This is really not normal.

The board arrived with many defects on the 2 rails and the nose. These defects did not come from the shipment or the package which was rather well done, the board was clearly broken before being packaged and shipped. Only it was sold as 'new'. After receiving it, I contacted customer service, no response. Disgraceful service. I do not recommend.

Delivery in 48 hours absolutely not respected, but well valued on the site. I had bought for this speed of delivery but it turned out to be much longer than what is generally done. However, material in good condition, products conform. I would not recommend this site, the announcement of a delivery in 48 hours (working days) being a false promise (package dropped off at the carrier on Tuesday while ordered on Sunday plus delay from the carrier).

Hello Madam, I understand your disappointment and I am sorry. The Tour de France having passed through Bayonne, where our shipping center is located, some routes have been closed and some carriers could not pick up our packages. We make it a point to ship your orders as quickly as possible, delivery is usually one of the strong points of our brand. I hope you will have the opportunity to trust us again on your next order. I wish you a nice day and a good long weekend. Cécilia from HawaiiSurf

Bad customer service experience at Hawaii Surf
My board arrived defective, 7 days to finally have it picked up and the sending of another received 7 days later
It took 14 days to finally get the board
No commercial gesture was made despite the delays.
I do not recommend

Hello Sir, I understand your dissatisfaction regarding this board that had a quality defect from the brand. As soon as we had their agreement, a delivery person came to pick up the board according to your availability and we proceeded to send a new board as soon as the delivery person took charge of it. I am sorry for the delay caused, I hope this new board has brought you satisfaction. I wish you a nice day. Cécilia from Hawaiisurf

Very disappointed with the service provided. I ordered a fragile item, and it was delivered to the customer by tossing it over a two-meter gate. I hope the item is not damaged, given the price and fragility of the product. Very disappointed, if the item is not functional, I expect a commercial gesture.

The customer service refused to send me a prepaid label to return the rollers that were too small for my son, while they could not offer me a larger size. I had to pay 21.30 euros to return them.

I feel like I was robbed. I thought I was buying a 4/3 and I received a 3/2. They lure you with an interesting price on the product you are looking for and when you get to the reservation moment, they change it for another one. I wasn't vigilant enough and ended up getting caught. Once, not twice!

I have ordered several times on the site, usually it's clean but this time I am very disappointed with the quality of the packaging. The box was just made for the size of a board (and it contained a board + a grip + 2 independent hollow trucks) so the grip was severely bent on the edges under the board, so once out of the box it is unusable, straight to the trash, the trucks pressed against the board left nice marks on the front of the board, very disappointed this time, not sure to order from you again.

We ordered via click and collect at a Hawaiisurf store in Saint Jean de Luz. The post office informs us that the package could not be delivered because they could not find the address, whereas we never requested a Colissimo. We had to request to be delivered again but we did not know the postal code... A nightmare without a name after managing to call the post office after 35 minutes to finally be delivered to a relay point 20m from the shop in click and collect.

Nothing went well but knowing the brand since I was a child and given that I got nice stickers I remain kind... but nothing went well, due to a stock error I spent 3 weeks resolving the issue with them before receiving everything I ordered... but the customer service, although very slow and not reactive (weak), accompanied me without causing me harm. I would have liked a more involved customer service nonetheless especially for a large order like mine.

I ordered a Billabong wetsuit on this site, bad experience.
Already the carrier is GLS which is not very reliable (the delivery person just left the package in front of my door without ringing).
For the wetsuit, I was sent a wetsuit that did not have the same color as on the website and belongs to the lower range than the one I ordered.
I therefore contacted customer service, not available for a seminar (I had to wait until the day after delivery to manage to reach them via social media).
They no longer had the wetsuit I wanted.
I was offered to return it or a discount of only 10% on the wetsuit even though I received the lower range (I didn't have time to return it because of the holidays).
I therefore kept the wetsuit asking for a commercial gesture (like a discount voucher or something) but unfortunately nothing was done.
The wetsuit remains even with these 10% still more expensive than on the brand's website or in surf shops.
I do not recommend this site, prefer a surf shop or another brand instead.

Hello,
We made a photo error on the revolution 3/2 wetsuit. Following this error that you pointed out to us, we sent you a return label that you did not wish to use. You preferred to keep the wetsuit.
We therefore proposed a refund of 10% of the value of the wetsuit, to summarize you received a wetsuit priced at 234 euros which is sold on the Billabong site for 260 euros.
We did our best to ensure you were satisfied with our service.
We are sorry that this was not enough.

I ordered my board on the Hawaiisurf website and received it with an impact on the underside of the board. I immediately informed Hawaiisurf but had to follow up three times to get a response which was ultimately negative. They don't want to know anything (no commercial gesture and they don't even open a file with the carrier)... it's my fault if my board is damaged... really a shame to trust a site only to receive a new but damaged board. I do not recommend this site.

Hello,
We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied. However, before shipping we notified you insisting that it was essential to unpack the board and check it in front of the carrier to avoid such inconveniences. Surfboards are particularly fragile products and need to be checked carefully. We are sorry for this situation and we are ready to offer you a gesture on a future order to compensate for your disappointment. Please contact customer service at [email protected].

Board damaged during delivery and a real obstacle course to get reimbursed. Always up to you to do the steps = 1 month.
Board not protected in the box, no possible tracking for the delivery of the board, delivery company: does not notify you when it passes and does not leave a message.
Conclusion: AVOID and buy in a surf shop:

Response from HawaiiSurf
Hello,
We are sorry that your board arrived damaged, the boards are shipped via a specialized carrier hence the tracking unavailable in your space, however, with a simple email or call, we can give you the status of the transport.
As for the refund, you contacted us on April 12, the refund request was made on April 12 at 4:50 PM. The bank refund takes a maximum of 5 working days to be effective.
We are sorry that you consider this as an obstacle course and we will make sure to improve in the future.
