Wavepool Surf Travel Insurance2025-10-27T04:16:45+00:00

Coverage for Artificial Wave Parks, Training Facilities & Resort Surfing

Wavepool surfing is transforming the way surfers travel — offering consistent, high-quality waves in controlled environments from city centers to luxury resorts. Whether you’re training at a performance pool, visiting a surf park on holiday, or competing in an event, STI Surf Travel Insurance provides comprehensive protection for every stage of your trip.

Our partner insurers cover medical, cancellation, and equipment-related risks for surfers, instructors, and families. This ensures your inland surf sessions stay as secure as any ocean adventure.

Why Wavepool Surfers Need Travel Insurance

Wavepool trips combine surf sessions with resort bookings, lessons, or event entries that are often non-refundable. Injuries, equipment loss, or travel delays can interrupt your trip and impact prepaid costs. Having proper coverage ensures you can recover both financially and physically.

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

  • Medical and evacuation coverage for surf-related injuries

  • Emergency medical and evacuation costs

  • Refund protection for prepaid wavepool bookings, lessons, or competitions

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

  • Equipment loss, theft, or damage during transport or pool sessions

  • Trip cancellation or interruption due to illness or operator shutdowns

  • 24/7 global medical and travel assistance
