🌊 About Almond & Our Products
Born from a deep love for surfing, we bridge the gap between high-end craftsmanship and everyday accessibility. We believe premium gear shouldn’t come with a premium wait. Our Surfboards In Stock are ready to ship, and our curated *Used Boards* marketplace promotes a circular economy, keeping great gear in the water and out of landfills.
We’re a one-stop shop for surfers:
- Surfboards: New boards (R-Series, collaborations), in-stock boards, and our unique Used Boards marketplace.
- Accessories: Fins, surf accessories, and gear to complete your setup.
- Apparel & Lifestyle: T-Shirts, Hats, Women’s collection, and Almond x Rivian collaborations.
- For Your Space: Surf Books and Wall Art to bring the vibe home.
- Gifts: Perfect items for the surfer in your life.
Our focus is on providing expertly crafted, accessible gear with minimal wait times. We primarily offer our curated Surfboards In Stock and our R-Series designs for quick shipping. For unique collaborations, check our Surfboard Collaborations section.
📦 Shipping & Delivery
We ship globally from our home in Pooler, US (130 Carolina Cherry Circle, Pooler, US 31322). 📍 Important Note: Shipping to Asia and a few select remote regions is currently unavailable. If you’re unsure about your location, just email us.
We keep it simple with two surfer-friendly options:
- 🚀 Standard Shipping (DHL/FedEx): Flat rate of $12.95. Your gear arrives in 10-15 days after shipment. Perfect for when you need that new board for an upcoming swell.
- 🌊 Free Shipping (EMS): FREE on all orders over $50. Delivery in 15-25 days after shipment. Ideal for stocking up on apparel, accessories, or picking up a used board.
All orders are processed and prepared for shipment within 1-2 business days. You’ll receive a tracking link via email once your order is on its way.
Once shipped, you’ll get a confirmation email with a tracking link. Use it to follow your gear’s journey from our warehouse to your doorstep. Our carriers (DHL, FedEx, or EMS) will also provide updates.
Pro Tip: Choose Standard Shipping if you’re watching the forecast for the next swell. Go with Free Shipping if you’re stocking up on lifestyle gear and can wait a little longer.

We accept all major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, and JCB. We also accept PayPal for a quick, secure checkout.

↩️ Returns, Exchanges & Warranty

Sustainability Note: Our return process considers our environmental footprint. We optimize packaging and encourage keeping gear in circulation through our Used Boards marketplace.
🌍 Sustainability & Our Mission
Our dedication to the ocean extends to everything we do:
- Circular Economy: Our *Used Boards* marketplace is central to keeping gear in the water and out of landfills.
- Eco-Friendly Operations: We optimize packaging and partner with carriers who share our environmental values.
- Quality Over Quantity: We create durable, timeless products meant to last many seasons.
It’s a dedicated section where surfers can buy and sell pre-loved Almond boards (and sometimes other quality brands). It’s our way of fostering community, reducing waste, and making great surfcraft more accessible. Check it out under the *Used Boards* menu.
