RYD First Time Soft Top
Every RYD Soft Top is covered by a 6-month warranty against genuine manufacturing defects — faults in materials or workmanship that were there before the board ever touched water. This includes things like:
- Deck or bottom skin delamination not caused by impact
- Stringer or fin box faults present from construction
- Core compression present from manufacture, not use
This warranty does not cover:
- Dings, dents, scuffs, or pressure marks from normal use
- Damage from heat exposure (direct sun, car boots, board bags left in the sun)
- Damage from impact, drops, or improper handling
- Reasonable wear and tear
- Boards that have been repaired, modified, or altered by anyone other than RYD
To claim under warranty, you'll need proof of purchase and photos of the affected area — send these to hello.sa@rydbrand.com and we'll take it from there.
May the waves be good — and may your board hold up out there.
The RYD First Time is the brainchild of RYD's friend, Caio Ibelli — a board built to bring real shape and real performance into your very first steps in the sport. The swallowtail with its pronounced winger gives you a taste of shortboard-style manoeuvrability, while a single-to-double concave underneath keeps the ride fast and controlled. It's a soft top that doesn't hold you back once you're ready to start pushing your surfing further.
