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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
An August gathering that combines surf competition with a full music line-up on the north Cornish coast. Around fifty thousand people spend several days there, beach in the morning and stages at night, with a notably young crowd.
You are holding surf competitions and a music programme over several days at once. We insure your participants in a single subscription. Our medical assistance can be reached day and night for the whole festival, repatriation is included, and we can also be a partner of your event.
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.
