Surf Coaching Travel Insurance2025-10-27T04:16:39+00:00

Coverage for Surf Lessons, Camps & Guided Training Trips

Surf coaching programs and surf schools are expanding worldwide — welcoming everyone from first-timers to advanced surfers refining their performance. Whether you’re joining a beach-break lesson in Bali, a coaching retreat in Costa Rica, or a guided trip through Indonesia’s outer reefs, Surf Coaching Travel Insurance protects both students and instructors throughout the journey.

These educational surf trips often include prepaid packages, shared accommodation, and daily water time. STI coverage keeps your trip protected from start to finish — lessons, travel, and equipment included.

Why Surf Coaching Travelers Need Insurance

Surf trips often involve unpredictable weather, multiple flights, and remote destinations.

Group bookings link multiple travelers through shared accommodation, transport, and tour costs. A single cancellation, accident, or delay can quickly ripple through the whole itinerary. Comprehensive group coverage keeps your plans — and your finances — on track.

  • Emergency medical treatment and evacuation during lessons or guided sessions

  • Evacuation and transport from remote surf destinations

  • Trip cancellation or delay protection for shared bookings

  • CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason) upgrades for charter flexibility

  • Damage, loss, or delay of boards and equipment (including rented gear)

  • Refunds for unused program days caused by injury or travel disruption

  • 24/7 global medical and travel assistance
