Are you going surfing on your next trip? Then don’t forget the most important thing — your insurance

by | Jun 9, 2025 | Advice, Blog, Insurances, Travel insurance | 0 comments

Sun, waves, freedom. Surfing in places like Indonesia, Morocco or Central America is an unforgettable experience… until a collision with your board, a tropical infection or a reef cut changes all your plans.

At PBF Insurance we’ve spent years advising travellers like you — people who combine adventure and passion with responsibility. If we’ve learned anything, it’s that accidents give no warning, but a good policy does protect you.

Surfing is freedom, but also risk

Surfing is a high-risk activity. Most travel insurance policies don’t cover it automatically, and many people find that out too late.

“One of our clients had an accident during a surf session: a fall left him with a head wound that required hospitalisation. Luckily, his policy was in order. He didn’t pay a single euro.”

Besides blows or injuries, we’ve also helped travellers with severe gastroenteritis, infections, minor accidents, missed flights or lost luggage that — without insurance — would have become a real headache.

What does good insurance for surfers cover?

With a policy like ARAG Viajeros Plus, designed for trips that include adventure sports, you’re covered for:

● International medical assistance up to €250 000 (or up to €1 million, depending on the plan)

● Repatriación sanitaria y traslados
● Medical evacuation & repatriation

● Hospitalisation, medication, tests

● Search, rescue & evacuation

● Extended hotel stay during convalescence

● Dispatch of medications or personal belongings

● Theft or damage to luggage

● Personal accident cover up to €15 000

● Personal liability up to €50 000

It also includes activities such as surfing, kitesurfing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), hiking, kayaking, diving (to 20 m), rafting, canyoning, etc., provided they’re not professional or competitive.

What if I travel with friends or family?

Many of our clients travel in groups, mixing sport with downtime. That’s why we also offer family or group policies, so everyone is protected — whether they surf or not.

Because a safe trip is one where every person counts.

In short: insurance isn’t an expense, it’s part of your gear

For the price of a dinner you can enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that if something happens, you’re covered — no improvisations, no fine print, real advice.

At PBF Insurance we don’t sell policies, we protect people.
