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.

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.

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.
