Our Skateboarding Insurance policy options

Our Sports Travel Insurance will cover you whilst skateboarding abroad for leisure or competition, and includes cover for medical and repatriation costs, trip cancellation and curtailment, plus more.
2. Travel Insurance Bolt-On
If you have an existing travel insurance policy in place with another provider such as your bank but it does not include cover for skateboarding, we can provide a bolt-on style of protection for your trip.
3. Sports Accident Insurance
Our Sports Accident Insurance is designed to protect you whilst skateboarding in the UK, whether that be for training or competition. The policy provides a range of benefits including personal liability and income protection.

Why do you need Skateboarding Insurance?
Although skateboarding is a fun and exciting activity, it carries with it a serious risk for injury, especially when tricks and stunts are performed.
Many injuries happen when a skateboarder loses balance, falls off the skateboard and lands on an outstretched arm. Skateboarding injuries often involve the wrist, ankle, or face.
There are many things that skateboarders can do to help prevent accidents, such as carefully selecting safe places to ride, wearing protective gear, especially helmets and taking out specialist skateboarding insurance.
