World-class breaks and classic beach towns. Surf’s up! Where’s your travel insurance?
Trusted by:
If surfing at Pipeline in Hawaii or heading to Kuta beach in Bali is on your next surf break abroad then it’s a good idea to know how you could be covered if you happen to have your gear lost or stolen. If your surf trip is cut short our coverage can help get you back on your feet and back on the surfboard in no time.
Along with your surfboard, wetsuit, sunblock and shades, you should also look at packing travel insurance. World Nomads can help get you back on your feet if your surf break turns into a bruising wipe-out.
As surf enthusiasts, Brits can get ready to hit the surf with the coverage we provide, from uncharted towns with pristine beaches to the most popular surf breaks.
Your coverage will vary according to whether you choose a Standard or an Explorer plan. Read your policy for details on maximum benefit limits and exclusion and conditions of your coverage.
Besides wave surfing, World Nomads may also cover:
An upgrade for certain sports may be required and terms and conditions apply for each sport. Check your policy for details or contact us if you have questions.
Sorry – we won’t cover you if you do something reckless (like tackle big-wave off-shore surfing when you’re only a beginner). Some things we may not cover include:
When it comes to any sport, safety should always come first. Your health ─ and your travel insurance cover─ depends on your responsible behaviour. Follow these tips to stay alert and aware (and to ensure that you won’t invalidate your travel insurance).
This is a summary only. It does not include all terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the plans described. Please refer to the actual plans for complete details of cover and exclusions.

World Nomads policies cannot cover claims due to Pre-Existing Medical Conditions (PEMC), regardless of whether the condition is serious or not (this includes if you're on separate or joint policies). You can still purchase a World Nomads policy, but the PEMC exclusion is not removable.
For travel insurance providers that offer cover on PEMC, visit the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) Money Helper website, or call 0800 138 7777. BIBA's (The British Insurance Brokers' Association) Find Insurance Service offers information on serious PEMCs and travel insurance providers that may cover these conditions. You can also contact them on 0370 950 1790.
