“ Site is slower than other pages on my laptop but not a problem_ I was initially suspicious of this site_ but I was so desperate for this particular board board I took a punt_ and they are legit_ Good overall_ I already have four Spooked Kooks boards so I know they always come with fins_ bag and key_ The board arrived without these_ and with Futures fins_ which are not shown in the photo_ I assumed some of the info on the page was incorrect so when the board arrived I had several email exchanges and we came to an amicable conclusion_ The staff seemed committed to resolving the issue rather than muggin me off_ which I was impressed with_ I wanted clarity and accountability and they provided both in most cases_ and that_s good enough for me_ Delivery is expensive but they_re on the continent so thats fair enough_ Board arrived well packaged and in perfect nick_”

“ Before akewatu I had a bad experience buying a board_ I purchased my dream board from the soft board centre in Hossegor France due to absolutely no soft tops available in the U_K_ till Easter _ They took my money and I was getting super stoked_ I checked a week later and only then did they notify me they couldn_t ship it to the U_K_ _ Yeah_ Totally bummed out_ So I got on akewatu site and saw the exact same board_ This also was from a surf shop in Hossegor_ France only this place took the order_ packed it and shipped it within a day through DHL_ I double checked a couple of times with customer service just to make sure it was ok to be shipped_ They replied quickly with _yes_ shop has packed and shipped_ here is the tracking number_ Received my Pyzel 7_ soft top log in 10 days_ Packaging was top notch_ no dings_ scratches or anything_ Super stoked with the purchase_ Although akewatu is just really a connection service and not it_s own surf shop I believe they take the time to make sure all the vendors are legit and deliver a great service_ Would definitely go through akewatu again_”

“ This is an online shop as far as I can gather_ Via facebook their response was slow_ and even though they tried_ mainly unhelpful_ However__ The response time and helpfulness factor via their site using email was fast_ totally helpful_ useful and decisive_ I bought the perfect board for a great price and it was delivered realy fast inspite of covid and Xmas_ Great company_ Would do business again_ NOTE_ if you want a boardbag that fits your board_ you have to keep on top of the communication_ Ask twice via their site to make sure it will fit well before buying both items at the same time_ Thanks Akemwatu_ delighted with your service_”

“ Board arrived undamaged and quicker than estimated_”
“ Ordered a 9ft NSP longboard through Akewatu _it was cheaper to pay the _55 shipping from France to the UK than buying the shorter _quot_cheaper_quot_ version of the same board locally___ Finding and buying the board on the site was really easy _ plenty of filters to narrow down to exactly what you want_ and the checkout process was quick and straightforward_ Shipping took just over a week _ordered late Sunday night_ board arrived on Tuesday a week later__ which is great considering the international shipping in the middle of global pandemic_ Packed really well in _quot_Flexi Hex_quot_ and then an outer box_ so no damage at all to the board_ Really happy with my purchase _ I was a bit skeptical at first with ordering such a large and relatively fragile item internationally_ but all my doubts were for nothing and I_d be more than happy to order from Akewatu again __”
