Coverage for Wakesurfers, Wakeboarders & Tow-Sport Travelers
Wakesurfing and wakeboarding have evolved from niche lake sports into global travel experiences from calm inland waters and cable parks to tropical lagoons and resort lakes. Whether you’re carving behind a wake boat, riding at a cable park, or teaching your kids to surf an endless wave, STI Surf Travel Insurance protects your trip from start to finish.
Our policies cover medical, cancellation, and equipment needs for riders, families, and coaches alike so you can focus on your next ride, not what could go wrong.
Why Tow-Sport Travelers Need Travel Insurance
Tow-sports involve speed, impact, and specialized gear — making comprehensive coverage essential. Many wake destinations rely on boats, cable parks, or inland waterways, where medical access or transport options may be limited. Equipment is often bulky or fragile, increasing the risk of airline damage or loss in transit.
Surf trips often involve unpredictable weather, multiple flights, and remote destinations.
