What is ice windsurfing?
Ice windsurfing involves using a sail attached to a board or frame fitted with runners. The wind powers the equipment across a frozen lake or another suitable ice surface, allowing the rider to steer and control their speed.
Can I get travel insurance for ice windsurfing?
Yes, cover for amateur ice windsurfing can be available through the policies offered by Direct Travel.
Ice windsurfing is a Winter Sports activity and should not be assumed to be included with ordinary travel insurance. Select ice windsurfing when getting your quote and check that both the activity and the applicable Winter Sports cover appear on your Policy Certificate or policy documents.
Things to remember:
- Choose ice windsurfing when getting your quote
- Check your documents for the activity and Winter Sports cover
- Wear a helmet, warm layers and suitable protective equipment

Depending on the policy selected, cover may also be available for cancellation, curtailment and other travel related problems. Winter Sports equipment and search and rescue cover may be available where included, while Personal Accident and Personal Liability cover can vary.
