Worth knowing
Starboard; cover, cost and conditions
Starboard builds SUP boards and windsurf boards in Thailand across the whole range, from leisure boards to race sprints and competition windsurf boards. The carbon race boards are in the four figure range and are therefore the models for which hull insurance makes economic sense.
With carbon race boards breakage is the relevant type of loss. A board fourteen feet long and weighing a few kilograms is sensitive to point loads, during transport, while being carried, while being set down. This damage is covered as far as it comes from an event; delamination through ageing is not. Transport the board in its padded bag and on suitable racks.
For windsurf boards the rig material comes on top. Sail, mast, boom and fins can be insured as accessories if they are stated in the application, and with a well equipped windsurfer that adds up to more than the value of the board. For competition use you need the racing inclusion. We do not offer boat third-party liability for muscle-powered craft; check your private liability insurance.
