During this time, you can still place orders online and deliver them anywhere. We wish you and your loved ones a great holiday season!

COVID-19

The health and safety of our community members and staff is of the utmost importance to us at all times. In light of growing concerns regarding the spread of the COVID-19 virus, we want to assure you that we have been closely monitoring updates from The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) as they relate to COVID-19 and implementing appropriate additional health and safety recommendations as necessary.

BOOKINGS

CANCELLATION PHILOSOPHY

You can cancel your class online or private booking through our website up to 24 hours before the start time to avoid losing the class or private booking. We do not accept email or phone cancellations. If you have not canceled your class or private booking, you will receive an email the following day to advise you that you have been late canceled.

LATE CANCEL PENALTY

Our late cancel policies are based on customer feedback to help create a more fluid and fair sign in process. If we hold a spot for you and you don’t show up, it means that someone else could not get into the class or private booking and this is frustrating for people who have made the time to show up. 

No refunds or credits are given for classes or private bookings missed. We are sorry, but we cannot make individual exceptions. You have until 24 hours before your class or private booking starts to add yourself in or remove yourself based on your schedule, so you can always wait until you know you can definitely make it to save your spot.

REFUNDS

All sales are final and not eligible for a refund unless Surf the Greats cannot meet its commitment to deliver a class or private booking. You have up to 24 hours to cancel or reschedule a class, and your account will be credited. Credits are non-transferable and may be used toward other classes, workshops or products in-store and online. Cash refunds can only be issued if Surf the Greats cannot meet its commitment to deliver a class. No refunds or credits are given for classes missed.

COURTESY POLICY

Our goal is to create a space for as many customers as possible in every single class we offer, without overcrowding the class or letting space go to waste unnecessarily. In order to do that for each of you, we have a few guidelines in place:

PRE REGISTRATION

All spaces are available to book online up to 14 days in advance and pre-registration is required to guarantee a spot in any classes. Pre-registration is available through our website.

 

WAITLIST

Even when a class appears full, you may, and should, add yourself to the waitlist. When a cancellation is made, the first name on the wait list gets automatically added to the class, and you receive an automatic email and/or text message at the time. Once you get added to the class from the waitlist you become responsible for attending or canceling.

LATE ARRIVAL PHILOSOPHY

If you are not signed in at the desk, at the beach, or at the skate park within 10 min before class starts and there are students hoping and waiting for a spot in class, we open the available spots in class to those who are on the waitlist, and your reservation might thus be forfeited. We also start our classes on time and will not accept any late entry to classes.

TOLERANCE POLICY

Surf the Greats has a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination based on age, gender, sexuality, mental or physical disability, body type, race, religion or political belief.
