Why should I consider sailboard insurance?

Windsurfing on your sailboard is undoubtedly one of the best ways to spend a day on the water. But as with any energetic water sport, it doesn’t come without the possibility of an accident.

Say you’re surprised by a gust of wind and injure another person on the sea. Or you lend your sailboard to a family member who accidentally damages the board whilst in transit.

Taking out specialist sailboard insurance can give you reassurance that if the worst happens, you and your craft will be covered, whether in the UK or continental Europe.
