What does this cover? (This summary is prepared by me, a non-expert, and is very general in nature. It's complex, so I've simplified it into dot points, but as you know when dealing with insurance companies, it's never this straightforward.)

Summary We live in a world where people seek and expect justice when they believe they have been wronged or injured. Generally speaking, the vast majority of human beings do not seek to harm others, but unfortunately accidents do happen. The cost of defending a protracted injury claim made against you is likely to exceed the resources of even a moderately wealthy person .That is where this insurance cover is most valuable. The AWA Policy has been designed for windsurfers and the risks we face. The cost of membership to an affiliated club in combination with all of the other benefits of joining your local windsurfing club makes joining such an easy decision!
Don't forget GSP and slalom series is only a few weeks away.
