Travel insurance for surfers & adventurers

In September 2014 after a year of hell working shitty jobs I had finally saved enough money to head off on my big surf adventure. The plan, nothing radical, was to spend 6 months exploring the South West Coast of Sumatra.

In over 30 years of travel all across the globe I never had an accident, never missed a flight never had anything stolen. Travel for me was a care free and laid back affair.

On day 10 of this big adventure what I now realize was a 30 year lucky streak run out when a simple fall that could have happened anywhere bought my dream to an abrupt end.

I'd still rather not think about all the things that might go wrong on my next adventure. I still believe "Attitude equals altitude" but I now know that things can and do happen ... and not just to other people.

Read your Insurance policy

Not all Travel Insurance covers adventurous activities, so it's absolutely necessary to take the time to read the policy wording carefully. Ensure the activities you will participate in are covered by your policy and be aware what documentation is required when lodging a claim.
