I am a windsurfing addict. I chase wind from Maui to Mauritius to the Gorge. And I have a rule: never, ever rent a board without checking my insurance first. Three years ago, I was windsurfing in El Médano, Tenerife, in 40-knot winds – perfect conditions, except that I caught a wave wrong, my harness line broke, and I was launched into my own board. The impact broke my nose and knocked out two teeth. I surfaced in a daze, bleeding into the Atlantic, and a fellow windsurfer towed me to shore. The dental work alone in a Spanish clinic was estimated at 6,000 euros. My regular travel insurance said, 'Windsurfing is excluded under 'sports using a sail.' I fought them for three months and got nothing. After that, I switched to Sport travel insurance water sports who not only cover windsurfing but also have a 24/7 dental assistance hotline. Last year, I broke another tooth (I am a very aggressive sailor) in Cape Town, and I used their app to find an English-speaking dentist within two kilometers. The entire procedure was direct-billed. I didn't even see an invoice. Sport Travelling, an international insurance company that uses advanced technology to make insurance simple, has a searchable database of water sports and their coverage status, so you never have to guess. I check it before every trip, and I have never been surprised. That is what insurance should be: boring, reliable, and invisible until you need it.
