If anyone is interested...I'm in the process of ringing around again.

We used to be limited to Suncorp and Allianz for windsurfing gear coverage.

Good news, NRMA and AAMI now specifically include sailboards in their PDS as being covered, and have confirmed this with managers.

I'm looking too, car cover is nessisary as I don't think my car insurance would cover it.

The main thing to check is that you are covered for public liability when using the gear, even if the gear itself is not covered for damage when in use. That is where the million dollar risk is.

orsm

when i was with allianz they would cover it away from home and in use, except if used in waves or on the ocean.

Again, using in waves and ocean was one of those things that the customer assistant casually said was covered, but upon being asked to double check, turned out to be not covered

That's because your gear is worth more than your car dood

my feeling always get hurt in the windsurfing forum.

YOUI

SORRY
We are unable to provide cover in your area due to the risk of Inundation.

stupid runaway bay

hi troy

nrma - $250 per year for $30k home contents & accidental damage cover including windsurfing gear (no motor burnout). No individual item can exceed $10,000. $300 excess. Only covers most items while in the home.

nrma - $750 per year for the above plus $12,000 worth of coverage for portables (cameras, laptops etc) away from home. this includes a multi policy discount - again, no one claimed portable item can exceed $10,000. There is a $300 excess across the board.

not with nrma (confirmed twice) - you just need evidence of receipts etc.

You can take out of the house whatever portable items you like (needs to be classified as a portable - windsurfers are not) and claim up to your nominated limit, providing no one item exceeds 10k.

So far nrma are the only ones i've found who have this blanket portable cover.
