Delivery & Returns
Delivery
WE AIM TO DESPATCH ALL ORDERS WITHIN 48HRS OF RECEIPT (EXCLUDING WEEKENDS)
We work regular hours here at manera.co.uk so orders received on Friday evening through to Monday morning will only be despatched on the Monday.
Make sure you plan around the weather forecast so your new kit arrives in time.
DPD DELIVERY SERVICE
We aim to deliver to you the day after dispatch, and DPD will be in contact throughout. DPD will attempt delivery and if you are not present, you'll receive communication from DPD informing you of your options - re-delivery, an alternative address, or from your nearest DPD Pickup Shop.
You will receive full tracking of your delivery; from despatch right through to when it's at your front door.
ROYAL MAIL 48 TRACKED
We aim to deliver Royal Mail Tracked 48 to you within two to three working days. Some exceptions apply for outlying areas (Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland,
Outer Hebrides, and Orkney Islands may take up to an additional 3 days – give us a call about these so we can get everything sorted). A signature will
be required on delivery and a confirmation of delivery will be emailed to you confirming receipt.
Returns
If in the unlikely event that you change your mind then you can send the product back to us, using the free returns label in the box. You will be given a refund, provided items are returned back in a re-sellable condition. If damaged or visibly used items are sent back, we reserve the right to refuse the refund.
To initiate a return, place the item back in the original packaging, and include the completed returns slip. Make sure you keep your returns label to hand. Seal the item back inside its shipping box, and simply stick your returns label onto the shipping box. Take your return to your nearest DPD Pickup shop*. You will receive confirmation your return has been sent as well as confirmation we've received your item. Provided the goods are in re-sellable condition, a full refund will be issued to you within 2 working days of your order arriving back with us.
*Some customers may receive a Royal Mail label instead. It's simply a case of dropping off the parcel at your local Delivery Office or Post Office.
Please contact us if you have any issue with your order or need any further help - that's what we're here for!

Infos & Characteristics
The DEFLATER BAG, unlike the more versatile OFFSHORE VEST, is dedicated solely to downwind deflaters.
Made of ripstop and Dacron from kites and wings, it's ultra-light, waterproof and resistant, so you don't feel it on your back.
Compression straps and Velcro fasteners secure it to your back when empty and when riding upwind. Then, its large pocket and roll-top closure allow you to fit a wing of 5m² or more inside.
An opening on the underside allows water to be drained off when the wing is stowed away, and the ultra-simple closing system ensures that no water enters once the wing is inside, even during heavy falls.
It also features a compartment for a hydration pack (non included).
The DEFLATER BAG is the ultimate gear for your downwind deflaters !
We advise you to use the WING PADDLE ATTACHMENTS we've developed, so that you can secure your paddle along the central strut of your wing.
A word about “deflating”:
SUP foil downwind is becoming increasingly popular, but the logistics of a downwinder are complicated. Riding upwind with a wing, deflating, and then paddling out is much more practical: no car, possibility of choosing the length of your DW, etc.
MANERA has therefore decided to create lightweight, practical equipment adapted to this new sport, such as the OFFSHORE VEST and the DEFLATER BAG.
Disclaimer: Downwinding require physical preparation, proper security devices, and assistance at sea. Please do not attempt any downwinders alone or without proper training.
