Make a splash with our travel insurance policies, including Extra Activity Cover, from only * per week

If you're after the ultimate rush and are hitting up Bondi beach, or perhaps heading to the fierce Atlantic ocean off the Algarve, you'll want a sufficient travel insurance policy for your next surfing trip. Who knows when you might 'ding' your board or get 'caught inside' a wave.

Surf Travel Insurance

With Holiday Extras you can get comprehensive cover for your surfing holiday without having to pay an extra charge or premium. Simply take out a standard level policy and you can expect surfing cover as part of the deal.

We should probably clarify that, by surfing, we mean specifically the kind with just a board on the waves! Other types of surfing, such as wind and kite surfing requires an additional premium.

Certain types of extreme sports activities, such as sky-surfing are not covered as part of our travel insurance, and you will need to find a more specialised policy to cover for this niche sport. For example, if you wanted to take part in surf life-saving through an organised competition, you would need to add-on Extra Activity Pack 2. For a full breakdown of all the sports that we do cover as standard with our travel insurance policies, visit our sports travel insurance page.

Choosing Holiday Extras as your insurance provider

There are two main types of policy:

Single trip - Covers one trip of up to 365 days. Worth getting if you know you're only likely to go abroad once in the year.

Annual multi-trip - Provides cover for any number of trips taken throughout the year, up to 45 days at a time. Perfect for jet-setters and restless travellers.

With every policy, you'll need to specify whether you'll be travelling in Europe or worldwide, beyond Europe. You'll also need to choose your level of cover:

Booking your policy

Booking your policy couldn't be easier. Just fill out the quote form at the top of the page, select your level of cover, and any add-ons to your policy before making your payment. Then all you'll need to do is wait for us to email your travel insurance documents to you, and you're sorted!
