What is wake boarding?

Wake boarding is a water sport where a rider stands on a wakeboard while being towed behind a motorboat. It blends elements of water skiing, surfing, and snowboarding, with riders performing jumps, spins, and tricks across the boat’s wake.

Do I need travel insurance for wake boarding?

Yes. Wake boarding can result in injuries from falls, collisions, or high-speed impacts. If you're heading abroad for a wake boarding holiday or event, having the right travel insurance ensures you're covered for medical treatment and unexpected cancellations.

What is included in wake boarding travel insurance?

Our policies include cover for emergency medical expenses, repatriation, cancellation, and personal accident. Your general belongings are also covered while travelling – but not while wake boarding.

Does standard travel insurance cover wake boarding?

Usually not. Most basic travel insurance policies exclude higher-risk water sports. You’ll need a policy that specifically names wake boarding to be properly protected.

Can I get wake boarding insurance with a medical condition?

Possibly. You’ll need to declare your condition when getting a quote. We’ll let you know if we can offer cover and whether any terms apply.

Is there a maximum age for wake boarding travel insurance?

Many insurers provide cover up to age 70. If you’re active and in good health, there are still options available – but always check the policy wording.
