Surf Travel Insurance

Looking for surf travel insurance that keeps you riding high?

We’ve shaped our cover for everyone from first-day foamie riders to barrel-hunting chargers. Getting insured with us is quick and hassle-free, so you can lock in the next set, not stress about medical bills or missing boards.

With our cover (and the Adventure Plus add-on for kite surfing), you’re covered for:

✅ Learn-to-surf lessons, guided paddle- and SUP-surf sessions.

✅ Emergency medical care for wipe-out injuries, reef cuts or broken bones.

✅ Evacuation by lifeguard, ambulance or air.

✅ Repatriation home and 24/7 emergency assistance.

Surfing is a rush, but regular travel cover wipes out fast the moment you paddle past the shore-break. 

Most off-the-shelf policies file surfing under “hazardous sports” and either exclude it altogether or charge a chunky add-on.

We think that’s daft, so we’ve baked recreational surfing, SUP-surfing and paddle surfing straight into every Rise & Shield policy. No upgrade, no faff. 

The numbers that should make you flinch:

• Hospital bills stack up like sets in a storm: A routine three-night hospital stay abroad averages $30,000 before any surgery, scans or physio are added.
• Medevac = mega-bucks: A single-leg stretcher flight can run $25 – 50k, while long-haul air ambulances out of Indonesia are quoted at about £85,000. One unlucky traveller hit $60k in Bali hospital fees before facing a $135k repatriation bill.
• Generic policies often leave surfers high and dry: If your insurer’s fine-print lists “surfing, big-wave or otherwise” under exclusions, those figures above are coming out of your own pocket.
  
• Boards and tech aren’t cheap: A quiver of custom sticks, fins, wetsuits and a GoPro can top £2k. Airlines pay pennies per kilo; our baggage section reimburses loss or damage up to the policy limits.
  
• Peace of mind = better rides: Knowing we’ll front the bills, arrange the airlift and handle the paperwork lets you focus on lining up the next set, not deciphering foreign invoices.
  

In short: a week of Rise & Shield cover costs less than a fresh leash, yet shields you from bills that could sink a house deposit. Snap it up, wax up, and chase the waves. We’ve got the what-ifs handled.
