Six to eight hours of paddling a day, five days running, and the rotator cuff eventually gives in. Tendon trouble, a sprained wrist, a fall off the board while squeezing past a lock gate: your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, hospital stay included.
Between two villages the bank can be a wet meadow with no vehicle access, and the support boat takes time to work its way up the channel. If evacuation is needed, assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, from the waterside to your home address.
You are chasing a placing over the five stages, then other long distance races through the year. The Competition option covers you in official competition, on this race and across the rest of your calendar, at home or abroad.
A head first fall onto a shallow bank, a back that mistimes one hard stroke in a crosswind, and the damage can be lasting. Where permanent disability is recognised after the accident, a capital sum of up to €200,000 is paid out.
Day one almost goes to plan. Day three is where it unravels: technique drops off, the core stops holding the position, and the lower back absorbs everything that is left. A headwind on the Frisian lakes doubles the workload, September water chills a soaked body fast, and blistered hands turn every stroke into a bad idea.
Beyond these five days, stand-up paddling happens at sea, on rivers and across lakes, downwind as well as on quiet touring runs. A stand-up paddle insurance policy keeps you covered all year, in training and in racing, whatever country you live in and whatever water sits under your board.
The SUP 11-City Tour links the cities of Friesland over 220 kilometres of canal and lake, raced in five stages each September. Around three hundred paddlers line up every year, among low bridges, lock gates and small Dutch villages.
Five stages to run back to back, and no appetite for chasing paperwork every morning? One single sign-up covers all of your participants. A medical team answers day and night throughout the race, repatriation is included, and we can also be a partner of your event.
Yes. You choose a period of cover that spans the whole event, the five stages and the days in between. Paddling in training and paddling in competition both fall inside the guarantee.
Cover applies to the consequences of a bodily accident during the activity: a fall, an impact, a trauma. Treatment and any hospital stay that follow are covered up to €150,000.
Yes. AxeoSport insures you whatever your country of residence and whatever country you paddle in. Repatriation to your home address is covered at actual cost if your condition calls for it.
No. This is not cancellation insurance. Your entry, your nights on site and your travel are not reimbursed. Cover applies only to bodily accidents linked to your paddling.
It depends on the period you select and the options you add, the Competition option among them. The online quote returns the figure in a few clicks, with no commitment, before you sign up.
