A complete and tailored Kayak Surf insurance
Kayak surf injury healthcare expenses
Up to €150,000. Head trauma from rock/seabed impacts, fractures from a board fall in a hollow wave, drowning avoided in the wash, hypothermia in winter sessions, carbon-fin cuts: we cover kayak-surf-specific injuries.
Transport and repatriation
At actual cost. ICF Wave Ski World Championship (Hawaii, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Australia), FFCK Championships, world spots (Hossegor, Anglet, Mundaka, Jeffrey's Bay, Pipeline Hawaii): we organise medical repatriation from any country.
Kayak Surf Competition option
The Kayak Surf Competition add-on covers the ICF Wave Ski World Championship, FFCK championships, HP surf kayak (High Performance short kayak with fins) and IC (International Class), Open/Senior waveski classes and 2-4 metre big-wave sessions.
Disability benefit
Up to €200,000 per person. Big-condition kayak surf (2-4 metre waves) cumulates surf risks (reef impacts, wash hold-down) and kayak risks (essential Eskimo roll, kayak hitting the pilot). Hawaii Pipeline or Spain Mundaka sessions remain particularly dangerous.
Why is Kayak Surf insurance essential?
Kayak surf adapts the kayak to oceanic wave riding. Two disciplines coexist: surf kayak (a decked short kayak with Eskimo roll) and waveski (an open seated kayak with a foot strap). The ICF Wave Ski World Championship organises the world championships and the FFCK federates the discipline in France. Competition spots range from Hossegor to Mundaka, Jeffrey's Bay and Hawaii Pipeline. Risks cumulate surf dangers (reef impact, hold-down) and kayak dangers (mandatory Eskimo roll, kayak projected against the pilot).
Our Kayak Surf insurance is the choice of ICF Wave Ski World Championship competitors, FFCK athletes and world-spot specialists. For canoe polo, see Canoe Polo. For sea surfski kayak, see Kayak Surfski.

The rate depends on your practice and the desired cover duration. For an international spot trip, the weekly plan suits; for the FFCK season plus trips, the annual plan with the Kayak Surf Competition add-on is best. Request your personalised quote.
