Im sure its been discussed before. Does anyone have some info on a good company that does health insurance for our sport incase something unfortunate were to happen and time off work medical bills etc needed to be covered.

This would be the best one in Australia..

Taking into account the age of most kitesurfers these days

I just updated all my insurances TPD/Trauma etc.......ANZ One Path covers kite boarding (non competitive/professional).

*edit - oops thought you meant income protection, I need to check my private health (medicare private) covers me I guess.

For income protection:
I bundle mine with super (Australian Super), I found it much cheaper this way. I think it's a bit over $40 a week for about $400k death payout and $6k a month income protection after 90 days until age 65. They didn't care when I told them I kitesurf and play sports, ride a motor bike etc. those activities didn't effect anything.

Mine is also bundled with super, apparently it's more cost / tax effective this way

Combined Insurance cover everything for me ! Income protection and all my health insurance. If I break my leg I get an instant payout plus all medical bills paid and they cover my time off work, simple ! My reps name is Jolanta give her a call and she can do free no obligation quotes at your place, that's what I did and turned out it was cheaper than my previous cover with HBO her number :0404 350 290

No accidents yet but it's peace of mind as I'm a building contractor !
