Caravan Surfing
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010There is nothing better than a glass of Scrumpy cider after a long day of surfing in Cornwall or Devon but there is nothing as bad as trying to get warm and dry in an already damp tent. This is one of the reasons why I no longer camp on my annual pilgrimage to the beach. This summer many hundreds of surfing amateurs and pros alike will be headed for British and European seas, and more of them than ever are going by caravan.
Caravans are by far the best choice for a surfing holiday; there is numerous space for wet suits, towels and surfboards. I don’t have mine board but it’s much less costly to lease one for the week in place of a day. It is not just at a lower cost but you have the chance to really get the experience of the board. Hiring a board for the seven days is pretty challenging without a caravan; even a short board would be difficult to squeeze in a tent. This is one of the reasons why I feel like a pro every year, despite sitting on my board in the green waves and looking for seals for the majority of the day.
The problem with caravans is the insurance. People often forget to ascertain if their insurance can give them the cover they require. If travelling to Europe then you need to ensure you have the right European caravan insurance or else you maybe left less mellow than the normal surfer when something goes wrong! Don’t let some uninsured driver get you to miss the surf this year, get caravan insurance!
Surfing all day means leaving the caravan unattended. Any true surfing lover will realize that the early surf is the better. After all who wants to share the waves with the foam board tourists? That’s why you should make sure that your caravan insurance looks after your contents. Particularly if you’ve any second planks left in it! A great specialist caravan insurance broker will be able to talk you through precisely what your policy includes.
Surfers are meant to be worry free so let someone else do the worrying! Don’t leave anything to chance this summer and get the right insurance for your caravan. Don’t forget that mileage, overseas travel and what you require to protect can all have a bearing on your cover so chat with an agent that can find the correct policy for you. Enjoy the surf!
It’s sometimes difficult to get caravan insurance that covers precisely what you want it to. The best way to ensure that you don’t get swindled by your insurers is to get hold of an insurance broker that has good relationships with insurance providers and who know their field inside out.
