A complete and tailored Surfski insurance

Surfski injury healthcare expenses

Up to €150,000. Extreme exhaustion in a 52+ km race, ocean hypothermia (water 15-20°C in the South Atlantic), sun/effort dehydration, repetitive-paddle shoulder tendinitis, capsize trauma in big conditions: we cover long-distance-surfski-specific injuries.

Transport and repatriation

At actual cost. Molokai 2 Oahu (Hawaii, 52 km), Cape Town Doctor (South Africa, 50 km downwind), Australia Doctor Race (Perth-Rottnest), Dragon Aid Race UK, ICF Ocean Racing World Championship: we organise medical repatriation from any ocean.

Surfski Ocean Racing option

The Surfski Ocean Racing add-on covers Molokai 2 Oahu, the Cape Town Doctor, the Australia Doctor Race, the Dragon Aid Race, the ICF Ocean Racing World Championship, FFCK ocean races and long-distance surfski expeditions.

Disability benefit

Up to €200,000 per person. Long-distance surfski combines extreme physical exhaustion (4-6 hours of continuous paddling), ocean risks (30+ knot wind, 3-4 m waves, strong currents), open-sea medical isolation and progressive hypothermia. Rapid helicopter or rescue-boat evacuation is crucial.

Why is Surfski insurance essential?

The surfski, a long 5 to 6 metre open-decked kayak with a seated position, is designed for open-sea long-distance racing. Molokai 2 Oahu (Hawaii, 52 km between two islands) has remained the world reference event since 1976, while the Cape Town Doctor (South Africa, a 50 km winter downwind) is mythic. The ICF organises the Ocean Racing World Championship. Risks cumulate extreme physical exhaustion over 4 to 6 hours, ocean hypothermia, dehydration and far-from-shore medical isolation.
