Damage Free Guarantee

At Caney Fork Outdoors, we work with top-tier freight carriers across the country to ensure your kayak arrives quickly, safely, and ready for the water.

We’ve also partnered with a white-glove delivery service designed to greatly reduce the risk of shipping damage. Because of this enhanced delivery process, you will no longer be required to sign and physically inspect your kayak at delivery. This carrier maintains an exceptional 99.97% damage-free delivery rate, giving you added peace of mind from warehouse to doorstep.

In the rare event that damage does occur, Caney Fork Outdoors will take care of the issue as long as it is reported within 2 hours of delivery and clear photos are submitted via email. If the damage is cosmetic (such as light scratches or minor surface dents) and does not affect performance or structure, we will provide a repair kit when applicable. If you prefer a replacement for cosmetic issues, a 20% restocking fee may apply.

For clarity, “damage” refers to any condition that compromises the structural integrity of the kayak hull or would void the manufacturer’s warranty as confirmed with the vendor.

Bending Branches Warranty

Paddles

Bending Branches guarantees its paddles against manufacturing defects for two years from the date of purchase.

  • Coverage: 2 years from the date of purchase.
  • What it covers: Defects in materials and workmanship. Bending Branches reviews each case and decides what qualifies.
  • How a claim is handled: Repair or replacement. Bending Branches states it honors all reasonable requests.

Wood paddles: a worn-looking Rockgard tip is normal

Every wood paddle is hand dipped in varnish four times, then the drip residue is burnished off the tip. That can leave the Rockgard tip looking worn, and it shows up most on the black tips. It is normal and does not affect how the paddle performs.

Filing a claim

Warranty claims are handled by Bending Branches. Submit yours on their warranty page with photos and a description of the issue, and a Bending Branches representative will respond with next steps.

File a claim and read Bending Branches' full warranty policy.

Bending Branches Splash Questions, Answered

180cm or 200cm?

Match the length to the child, not their age. The 180cm suits smaller kids in a narrow kids' boat or riding in the bow of a tandem. The 200cm is for bigger kids and tweens in their own kayak. A child in a wide sit-on-top may already be past both and need a short adult paddle.

Why not just hand them an adult paddle?

Length. An adult paddle in a kid's hands is too long to swing cleanly, so they fight it and quit early. Bending Branches built the Splash so kids can feel the thrill of paddling without exhausting themselves, and the shorter shaft is most of how that works.

Should I set the feather to 0 or 60?

Zero. Both blades flat is one less thing for a new paddler to think about. Leave it there until they are paddling confidently and asking questions about the wind.

Will it hold up to a kid?

That is what the aluminum shaft and polypropylene blades are for. It is the durable end of the material range, and it carries the same 2-year manufacturing warranty as the rest of the Bending Branches line.

What else do they need?

A properly fitted life jacket, sized to their weight and buckled every time. Beyond that, sun protection, water, and short trips at first. Kids get cold and bored well before adults do.

How does it ship?

Ships parcel, nationwide. It breaks down into two pieces and boxes up, so it goes out as a standard ground shipment.
