World-class breaks and classic beach towns. Surf’s up! Where’s your travel insurance?
As featured in:
For many Kiwis surfing isn’t just a hobby it’s a lifestyle. With the number of gnarly surf breaks and yet to be discovered beach spots worldwide it’s no wonder Kiwis are stoked to search far and wide for the next adrenaline-soaked surf trip. But with sun, surf and sand there are also dodgy stingray encounters, jagged coral reefs and (gulp!) shark attacks.
Along with your surfboard, wetsuit, sunblock and sunnies, don’t forget to pack your travel insurance. World Nomads can help get you back on your feet if your surfing adventure turns into a wipe-out.
As surf enthusiasts, Kiwis can take on a six foot barrel without a worry by taking out World Nomads travel cover. Here is what we offer as part of our Standard and Explorer plans:
Your coverage will vary according to whether you choose a Standard or an Explorer plan. Read your policy for details on maximum benefit limits and exclusion and conditions of your coverage.
An upgrade for certain sports may be required and terms and conditions apply for each activity and sport. Check your Policy Document for details or contact us if you have questions.
Sorry – we won’t cover you if you do something reckless (like tackle big-wave off-shore surfing when you’re only a beginner). Some things we may not cover include:
When it comes to any sport, safety should always come first. Your health ─ and your travel insurance cover─ depends on your responsible behaviour. Follow these tips to stay alert and aware (and to ensure that you won’t invalidate your travel insurance).
This is only a summary of coverage and does not include the full terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the policy. You should read your Policy Document in full so you understand what is and isn’t covered. That way there won’t be any surprises if you need to use it. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
