A blem is a new, unused product with a cosmetic manufacturing imperfection. Also called B-grade or a factory second, it may have a graphic, print, or finish variation that does not affect structural integrity or intended performance.

What does a cosmetic blem look like?

Examples include a faded graphic, an off-center print, a color misprint, a small missing portion of a graphic, or a misprinted size marking. The type and visibility of the blem vary by item. Contact us if you need clarification about a particular listing.

Are blem boards used or structurally damaged?

No. Blem inventory described here is new and unused with cosmetic manufacturing imperfections. It is different from used gear or a product damaged in shipping. Read the individual listing for its condition and any exceptions.

Do blem products have a warranty?

Products purchased from Blemboard carry the full manufacturer’s warranty unless sold as a “no warranty” item. Coverage has exclusions. Our current policy excludes wakeboards used on sliders and rails, even if designed for that use. Read the full returns and warranty policy.

Can I return a blem board?

Our policy provides a 30-day return window from purchase for unused products, subject to packaging, authorization, shipping costs, and other conditions. Read the returns and warranty policy before ordering or requesting a return.

Is a closeout the same as a blem?

No. A closeout or previous-season item describes inventory being cleared; a blem describes a cosmetic manufacturing imperfection. Look for “Blem” and the condition details on the product listing.

Shop wakeboards, wakesurf boards, bindings, or foilboards.
