FRONT OF THE LINE SERVICE

Need your gear serviced fast? Skip the wait with out Front of the Line priority service! For an additional fee of $75.00, we will move your equipment to the top of our service queue. Whether you have a trip coming up or just need a quick turnaround, we have you covered!

Customers requesting expedited service or needing gear completed ASAP will automatically be charged a Front of the Line fee. While we do our best to prioritize your equipment, quick turnaround cannot be guaranteed in cases where parts must be ordered or significant repairs are needed. To ensure all of your equipment is ready, we recommend dropping off your equipment at least one month prior to your trip. This gives our technicians ample time for service - and you time to test your gear in the water before you go!
