Why should I consider stand up paddleboard insurance?

No matter how experienced you are at paddleboarding or how careful you are when using your board, accidents can happen, but paddleboard insurance can protect you and your board if they do.

Insurance can help you if your paddleboard is lost, stolen, or damaged while on the water or in transit, or if you suffer a paddleboarding-related injury. Third-party liability cover up to £5m through Craftinsure can also protect you if you accidentally injure someone or damage their property while paddling.

Paddleboard insurance can also cover some or all of the costs involved in settling claims or arranging paddle repair and replacement work. That means you can get back out there enjoying quality time on your paddleboard without having to worry too much about your finances or how you’d manage if something were to go wrong.
