How is Surfing Insurance different?
Surfing may look like a casual risk free activity, although like with all water sports it does have its element of risks.
The most common injuries are those caused by collisions with the board, coral reefs, hard sand surfaces and submerged rocks with feet and hands particularly vulnerable. The shoulder is most vulnerable to overuse, and this can lead to rotatory-cuff impingement and tendinitis.
Surfing has a relatively low risk of injury. Still, we recommend getting suitable insurance in place so you can enjoy the sport whilst guarding against costly injuries.
