If you join AKSA you get insurance - pretty worth it if you are in a crowded area

Hi Peeps,

AKSA insurance is just 3rd Party property and person and only whilst in Australia. For accident insurance and death or disability cover you can buy IKO Insurance it covers you for accident, disability, rescue/salvage costs, death and personal indemnity also.

You are covered from the minute you take the gear out of the boot and start walking down the beach until you put the gear back in the car again after your session. It is also worldwide coverage.

Hey, that's a good one Kitehard. This is a good link!!!

sounds good how do the prices compare , and dont iko make you prove your worthy with a iko instructor who can milk your wallet dry with failed attempts

Hey Peeps,

Tha AKSA and WAKSA do not accept IKO insurance for you to enter events in Australia. There is nothing wrong with the policy, in fact it is much more comprehensive however they need the members. So support your WAKSA and take the IKO insurance if you want personal cover as well or if you travel with your kiting gear, it makes sense to take out IKO coverage.

Booman, for you, you must find an IKO instructor and then take the insurance test. You stand on one leg, eyes closed with extened arms and touch your nose with the tip of your index finger, whilst he dips into your pocket removes your wallet and takes a weeks pay from you for his inconvenience. Then you must say the alphabet backwards whilst patting your head and simultaneously rubbing your stomach in anti-clockwise circles whilst he replaces your empty wallet.

For everyone else, you can ask any reasonable IKO instructor to quickly certify your riding ability and give you a card which will probably cost you bugger all if anything. Then there you go.

It is simple and easy to get, you just can't cut corners on safety.

Good winds,

Thanks Kitehard, that is a great link
