What is Windsurfing Insurance?
Our Windsurfing Insurance (inside 12 mile limit) will help protect you whilst participating in the activity abroad and even in the UK.
If you are thinking of going abroad, look for our Sports Travel Insurance that covers windsurfing to give yourself that extra layer of protection in case anything goes awry. Along with medical expenses, your policy will offer additional cover for incidents such as lost luggage, trip cancellation, and more.
For those staying in the UK, our Sports Accident Insurance is better suited providing cover for broken bones, permanent disablement as well as income protection.
Once you have decided on your travel destination, carefully choose an insurance plan that will keep you covered should the worst occur.
What are the risks of Windsurfing?
Windsurfing carries a relatively low risk of injury compared to other sports. However, when accidents do happen they can require hospital treatment.
Common injuries include fractures and sprains or bruises following impact with the water. More advanced windsurfers can reach up to 50mph and perform gravity-defying tricks such as jumps, spins and loops.
Lack of fitness, inexperience and not wearing a helmet can contribute to those injuries. It’s always wise to ensure you have the correct windsurfing safety equipment available whenever you head out onto the water.
