IKO scholen kunnen zich verzekeren bij de IKO via de bekende engelse verzekeraar Lloyds. Er zijn nu 21 landen toegevoegd waar de kitescholen zich nu ook kunnen verzekeren. Belgie en Nederland stonden al in de lijst van landen waar kitescholen een IKO verzekering konden afsluiten.



IKO Now Offers International Kiteboard Insurance with Lloyd’s

IKO is pleased to announce that Beazley Syndicate at Lloyd’s, IKO’s insurance partner, has recently approved twenty-one new countries that can now offer unprecedented international kiteboard insurance exclusively to IKO Kite Centers. This insurance program is made available to IKO Members through IKO Kite Centers located in most countries around the world. “Beazley is proving to be an outstanding insurance partner with the IKO as this new addition of approved countries reinforces why we chose Lloyd’s. It shows that Beazley is committed to making the best
kiteboard specific insurance available and exclusively to our members,” explains Frédéric Béné, cofounder of the IKO. “This insurance program is ideal because it meets all the local requirements and

insurance regulations for each country specifically. What is more, upon request, more countries can be added.” The newly added countries to the list are: Austria, Bahamas, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden.

The following, are countries previously approved to offer this insurance policy: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Mauritius, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland and UK.

This insurance program is competitive to any school of any size and whatever the working season is for the school. This is always challenging when looking for and negotiating professional coverage for an extreme sport like Kiteboarding especially when it is taught and practiced in so many countries today.

The agreement is worded in English. The program offers professional and general liability for IKO Affiliated Kite Schools. All kiting activities for kiteboarding, snowkiting and powerkiting are covered under this policy. Best of all, it is easy to apply online.
