FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

Surfonly works on an offer model — you find a piece you want, send us an offer through the product page, and we respond within 24–48 hours. There is no fixed checkout; every sale is agreed between you and us directly.

We consider every offer seriously. If your offer is below what we can accept, we may counter. If a piece sells to someone else before your offer is accepted, we will let you know.

All sales are final due to the one-of-a-kind nature of vintage clothing. If an item arrives materially different from how it was described, contact us within 5 days of delivery at hello@surfonlyvintage.com and we will work with you to make it right.

Every piece is personally sourced and inspected by us. We check labels, stitching, hardware, and print consistency against known authentic examples from the era. We do not sell reproductions, fast-fashion "vintage-style" pieces, or modern re-releases.

We grade each item individually. "Excellent" means minimal to no visible wear. "Good" means light fading or minor wear consistent with age but no damage. "Fair" means notable fading, minor staining, or wear that is disclosed in the listing. Measurements are always provided and should be your primary guide.

Vintage sizing labels rarely match modern standards — a vintage "Large" often fits like a modern Medium. Always go by the measurements listed on each product page, not the tag size. If measurements are missing for a piece you want, message us and we will measure it for you.

We specialise in 90s and Y2K-era surf brands including Quiksilver, Billabong, O'Neill, Rip Curl, Stüssy, Oakley, JNCO, Rusty, Volcom, Body Glove, Hang Ten, Gotcha, and Fox Racing. Inventory changes constantly as we source new pieces.

No. Surfonly is an independent vintage reseller and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any brand whose clothing we sell. All brand names are used solely for identification purposes.

We ship across the United States. We are based in California. International shipping may be available — contact us at hello@surfonlyvintage.com to ask about your country.

Once an offer is accepted and payment is confirmed, we typically ship within 1–3 business days. Delivery time depends on your location and the carrier, but most US orders arrive within 3–7 business days.

Yes — visit the Sell page and submit photos and details of your pieces. We review every submission and will reach out if we are interested in buying.

We look for authentic 90s and Y2K-era surf and skate brand clothing in good or better condition — tees, hoodies, boardshorts, outerwear, and hats. The more original and well-preserved, the better.

The Community section is where surf culture lives on the site. You can post photos, share finds, drop opinions, and connect with other vintage enthusiasts. Browse posts, like them, and join the conversation.

Yes — head to the Community page and submit your article. Articles can be any length up to 700 words and should cover something relevant to surf culture, vintage clothing, or the brands we carry. We review all submissions before publishing.

Photos of your vintage finds, styling shots, surf spots, collection pickups, brand deep-dives — anything genuine and surf/skate adjacent. Keep it respectful and on-topic.

The Journal is our editorial blog covering vintage surfwear history, brand guides, styling tips, and surf culture. New posts go up regularly. Community Stories — articles submitted and approved from the community — also appear there under their own tab.
