Guest Nevermind Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 Check ure home insurance, all my gear is covered abroad upto £2000!!! 3rd party dont kmow, sportscover is menat to be goodthough Craig Quote
monkeyinshower Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 Can't remember how much I paid - about £35 for a week in Tarifa. I think you can choose gold/silver/bronze insurance and that changes the level of cover with regards to the equipment insurance etc. The main thing is that you are insured for medical stuff etc. Check out the site - it's all there. I'm sure there are plenty of other insurers - its just that these guys said "kitesurfing so I was suckered in Seems ok though! Where r u off 2 anyway? Quote
Mubster Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Posted September 2, 2005 think i'm gonna go for the waveriders insurance, 35 bucks.... we're off to Safaga Egypy..... It's our first kitesurfing trip over seas, i'm well Man United :D Quote
buzbie Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 Go on rub it in why not..... Were off to sunny Carradale bay tomorrow, wanna join us?? on second thoughts no don't the wind goes away when you turn up !!!LMFAO One day... Quote
8015 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 Did you check Snowcard? They have risk levels for just about every "extreme" sport. The most important aspect of Travel insurance is to get medical cover, including medevac - the last thing you want to do is break yourself in some far off location and have to pay for the helicopter ride before they will even take you to a hospital..... and once there you want to get treated straight away and not have to fond money to pay for that.

BrianCalshot Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 try www.travel-insurance.co.uk/activity.asp you need activity 2 cover for Kiting. its the cheapest travel insurance i found. Cost us £30 for both of us. Its about £20 for a single person. only covers your kit for £250 (i think) per single item tho:( thats the only downside. Bev Quote
Andy S Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 Direct Travel... Holiday insurance, including kitesurfing, but not including liability (which you probably have elsewhere) I paid £9 for 1 week http://www.direct-travel.co.uk/ Ring them to check the cover.... Fab Quote
Andy S Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 PS.. this is the page to say if they cover "hazardous activities"... http://www.direct-travel.co.uk/FAQ/FAQ.asp?Page=29&Title=Do%20you%20cover%20hazardous%20sports? Quote
8015 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 Nearly forgot - read your PKSF insurance certificate (you have one if you are in BKSA, or SPKA etc.), your liability cover is worldwide, the only condition is that you need to write to them before travelling to the US. JIM Quote
