Security-
Is my information and transaction secure?
At SurfRide.com, we are committed to ensuring the security of you information. We use the industry standard, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, for protecting your online commerce transactions. SSL software allows a secure server to communicate with your browser. The secure server and your browser create a unique shared "key" that only the two computers on either end of the transmission can use to scramble and unscramble information. This key is only good for this one session, and during transmission, the information is scrambled and completely unreadable. When you leave the secure server, the key that was created will become useless. When you return to the secure server, the whole process will begin again creating a new unique key. By using SSL, your personal information including your credit card, phone number, name and address are encrypted so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.
How can I check the security on my computer?
Once you enter the checkout page, your computer will begin to communicate with our server in secure mode. You can verify that you are in secure mode by the following:
- The initial characters in the web address “http” will be replaced with “https.”
- Depending on your browser, you will see either a padlock or a solid key in the lower right or left section of your browser window.
Does SurfRide.com sell or release my personal information?
We respect your privacy and will not under any circumstances sell, rent or share your information with anyone.
Do you use cookies?
We only use cookies for the purpose of giving you a personalized shopping experience. Cookies allow us to give you a personal greeting and keep track of what is in your shopping cart.

Where do I enter a discount code?
Discounts may be entered during the Payment Information (2nd step) portion of the checkout process under “Discount Codes.”
What is the difference between a shipping and billing address?
The billing address is the address associated with your credit card - it is used to verify your credit card information. Your billing address is where you receive your bank statement for the credit card. The billing address must match the address that your credit card company has on file. The shipping address is where you want your items delivered. This can be the same as your billing address or different.
Can I special order items?
If the manufacturer makes it, we can get it. If you’re having trouble trying to track down a certain item, let us special order it for you. Special orders typically take 1-2 weeks for us to receive the merchandise from the manufacturer. If you are interested, please contact customer service using our email form. You may also call us toll free at 1.888.802.SURF (7873). Be sure to include as much information about the item (name, style number, color, size, etc.) as possible.
We are required by law to charge sales tax for purchases made within California. If you live outside of California, then you will not be charged sales tax.

Why didn’t I receive an email confirmation after ordering?
Confirmation emails usually arrive shortly after ordering. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please call 1.888.802.SURF (7873).
When will my credit card be charged?
We will not charge your credit card until your order actually ships. You may see an authorization for the amount of your order on your card. This authorization may appear like a charge but is actually just your financial institution holding those funds for us until we charge the order. If your order is not charged and shipped, the authorization is automatically dropped after 2-3 business days. If the authorization on your account has not dropped after 4-6 business days, please contact your financial institution to see how you can have the authorization removed. We will be happy to assist you in the removal of any authorization as requested by your financial institution.
How do I change or cancel my order?
