Planning a trip to My Hoa and thought I would seek input from the wise ones on travel insurance. I have reviewed a couple of PDSs and they seem to list everything but Kitesurfing / Kiteboarding or exclude it if they are not with a commercial operator. Any suggestions or experience with cover?

check out

www.worldnomads.com/

and

www.passportcard.com.au/

I haven't used either of these personally, but they Both specifically offer kitesurfing insurance, but obviously costs a lot more!

From my research, it pretty much doubles the quote.

Personally, I don't bother seeking insurance for kite related activities... but maybe I should!

Thanks KB for the suggestions, have had a bit of a pds read. The passport card is interesting as long as no Stunts are involved. When does it become a stunt? The world nomads put kitesurfing as a level 1 risk water sport with swimming. . You never know how good insurance is until you need it though.
Has anyone had to make a claim with these two or any others for injury whilst kiting OS.?
