Cold Atlantic water, crowded peaks, guarantees that stay put

icon Frais médicaux

Ankles and knees in a cold shore break, €150,000 of care

Cornish water stays cool through August and muscles stiffen fast between heats. Land a manoeuvre on a hard bottom and an ankle twists or a ligament goes. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including scans, surgery and a hospital stay.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Getting home from a stretch of coast far from major hospitals

Specialist care is a long road transfer away from this part of the coast. If an injury rules out driving or flying straight away, assistance and repatriation are paid at actual cost, from the medical transfer to the journey back to your own address.

icon Option compétition

A ranked contest, not a session with friends

The festival's surf events are official competitions, and recreational policies routinely exclude exactly that. The Competition Option covers official competition here and across the rest of your contest season, wherever it takes you.

icon Capital invalidité

Up to €200,000 when an injury changes what comes next

A board to the head or a neck compressed in the shorebreak can leave consequences that never fully clear. The permanent disability capital reaches €200,000, which helps absorb a lasting loss of income and the adjustments that follow.

Short nights wear riders down faster than the swell does

The real trap at Boardmasters is the rhythm. Nights are short under canvas, music runs late, and the morning asks for a heat in water that never gets warm. A tired body reacts slowly in a snapping shorebreak, and a packed peak turns a late drop into a board collision. Moving between the beach and the arena happens in the dark, across sand and coast paths.

One festival is not your whole surfing year. Weekly training, autumn sessions when the swell finally arrives, trips to other breaks: the risk to your body travels with you. A personal accident policy in your own name holds whatever your country of residence. Take a look at our surf insurance for cover across the season.

FAQ

Questions riders ask before travelling

Yes. The policy applies in France and abroad, whatever your country of residence. An injury on the beach at Newquay is handled exactly as one that happens at your home break.

Yes. Training and competition are covered on the same terms. An early session outside the contest schedule falls under the same medical cover and the same assistance as a ranked heat.

The guarantee covers bodily accident linked to your participation. Medical costs and assistance apply to accidents sustained in that context, including the travel the event itself requires of you.

No. AxeoSport provides personal accident insurance, not cancellation cover. Tickets, camping, ferry crossings and accommodation stay at your expense if the event does not go ahead.

The price depends on how many days you want covered and which guarantees you keep, the Competition Option in particular. The online quote returns your exact figure in a few minutes.
