Dishonest promotion of products
On two occasions the same product was advertised without having it in stock. Very dishonest!

Hi there,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. We always strive to keep our stock levels accurate, and we’re truly sorry that an error occurred not once but twice. We completely understand how disappointing this must have been.
Between your first and second purchase attempts, the item did come back into store, but it was sold in-store rather than online. Unfortunately, our system did not update the stock levels correctly, and we are truly sorry for this oversight.
Please rest assured that we never intend to mislead customers or offer products that aren’t actually available. This was an honest mistake on our part, and we take full responsibility. Your order was refunded promptly, and we apologise again for the inconvenience caused.
All the best,
The Watersports Centre Team

‘Above and beyond’ customer service
Tim at the water sports centre went out of his way to complete an order for me; arranging for alternative hooks that I wanted on a Mystic harness to be supplied by the manufacturer. These had to be swapped out by Tim / his team on the spreader bar prior to delivery to me. Tim kept me informed on progress. I would highly recommend The Watersports Centre!

What a brilliant company
What a brilliant company, I ordered a kite harness from here, it was incorrectly marked as in stock on their website, Tim from the company called me, left a very detailed message explaining the error, gave me many options and explained they were getting more in a week or so, I offered to wait, then about a week later Tim once again contacted me to tell me they had received new stock and mine was being picked and sent out for delivery. No company is perfect and do have issues, but it's how companies deal with those issues which makes the difference, excellent communication, brutally honest customer service, I will definately be using them again in the future.

Awesome customer service
The customer service from this team is amazing, I got really helpful advice on an impact vest using the online chat function, helpful info via email, and just had a really instructive chat with George about the F-one SK8 foil I'd ordered.
I wasn't sure if I'd got the right size, and he talked me through all the pros and cons, and matched me up with what he recommended, and not just that, he figured out which stabiliser would suit me best. He also gave me some tips on how to make the transition from the F-one phantom foil I've been using, which would have taken me a lot of trial and error to figure out myself.
I also ordered a boom which I realised I didn't need, I emailed and on a Sunday got a nice reply saying they'd cancel the order and refund the payment.
Highly recommended.
