Shipping Damage Free Guarantee
Accessory Shipments
Paddles, PFDs, dry bags, helmets, skirts, motors, rod holders, and accessories ship UPS, FedEx, or USPS Ground.
It lands on your doorstep like any other package. We email tracking the day it leaves our shop.
Order gear on the same order as a kayak we're hand delivering or shipping, and it comes with the kayak.
Kayak Shipments
We deliver kayaks two ways. Inside our delivery area, we bring your boat to you ourselves. Everywhere else, it ships LTL freight with a carrier that reports a 99.9% damage-free delivery rate. We'll tell you which one you're getting once your order is placed along with more details.
If we hand deliver it
Nothing to inspect, nothing to sign at the curb. We're the ones unloading your kayak, so if anything is wrong, tell us right there and we'll take care of it. We will call before hand for a meetup place.
If it ships LTL freight
Look the boat over before you sign the delivery receipt. If you see damage, write it on the receipt. That one step is what protects your claim. Then email clear photos to helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com within 2 hours of delivery. We also will email you more details on this process once the order is placed.
What we cover
Structural damage. Anything that compromises the hull or would void the manufacturer's warranty, confirmed with the vendor. We make it right.
Cosmetic damage. Light scratches or minor surface dents that don't affect performance or structure. We send a repair kit when one is available. If you'd rather have a replacement, a 20% restocking fee applies plus full shipping back to us.
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.

Bending Branches Bounce Questions, Answered
What length Bounce should I order?
It comes in 210, 220, 230 and 240cm. Wider boats and higher seats call for a longer paddle, so a narrow recreational kayak sits at the short end of that range and a wide rec boat at the long end. If you are between two sizes on a wide boat, the longer one is the safer buy.
What are the X-grips for?
No-slip control. They are the bright yellow sections where your hands go, and they give you something to hold onto when your hands are wet, which on a kayak is most of the time.
Bounce or Whisper?
Both are aluminum-shaft paddles with polypropylene blades at 37 oz, in the same four lengths. The Bounce adds the yellow X-grips, the hi-vis yellow blades and the e-coat shaft. The Whisper is the plainer entry-level option with black grips.
Do the hi-vis blades actually matter?
On water with powerboat traffic, yes. A kayak sits low and is hard to pick out. A bright yellow blade swinging above the waterline is the most visible thing you have, and Bending Branches builds the color in for exactly that reason.
What does e-coat do?
It is a coating bonded to the aluminum shaft for durability. It matters most for a paddle that lives in a truck bed or a damp garage. Rinse it with fresh water after salt or brackish trips either way.
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.
