Find Your Serial Number

To locate your kayak's serial number look at the outside stern (back) of the boat. Most, but not all boats, have a recessed area on the stern (right) side of the boat close to the line where the deck and side meet. Your serial number will always be in this area.

SERIAL NUMBER FORMAT:

Our current serial number format consists of 10 alphanumeric digits.  Eg. GBELA29C14 

THE SERIAL NUMBER BREAKS DOWN IN THIS ORDER:
The GB indicates the kayak was manufactured in Great Britain, and means you have bought a quality Wave Sport product. The next five digits are generated in sequence by our system to give each boat its own unique identification. The next digit is a letter that represents the month of the year your boat was molded. The letter A represents January, B would represent February and so on. The last two numbers will be the year your boat was made. The example above would be for a kayak moulded in March 2014.
 
Some models may consists of 12 alphanumeric digits and have WEM embossed into the kayak at the start of the serial number.  Eg. WEMELA29A909  In this case, the last two numbers will be the year your kayak was made. The example above would be for a boat moulded in 2009.
