The current insurance excess of $5000.00 is excessive.
Assume there is a minor accident which is not the kiter's responsibility but under this no-blame policy a payout is agreed of $5000.00 - I would not feel insured I would feel ripped off.
I would be far more comfortable with an insurance excess of under $1000.00
I would be prepared to fork out more to achieve that.
Is it possible to have a sliding scale of an individual's liability under this scheme.. higher premium - lower liability?
If I have to investigate this - can some one point me to the start of the path??
Thanks

Don't have any insurance, kite where no-one knows ya... take a taxi to the beach from the train station so no-one knows where you live...and always carry a fake ID .
If you hit anything or anyone.....RUN boy RUN.......
If you are ever taken to hospital ....deny everything.
Or conversly...have all your assets in your partners name, so no-one can touch you financially...
Oh Stabber.
I am a member of AKSA and i didnt realise the excess was so high! I would be willing to pay more to reduce it to say $1000. When you think about it any accident involving a third party being injured by a kite is probably gonna cost a hell of a lot. If you kite amongst the general public its a risk, i would not dare go uninsured.
Plow,
Suggest you do the call around, you'll soon find out just how expensive insurance is. Moral of the story is kite safe, have less claims and we'll all pay less.
You are so right man! There are heaps more people getting hurt skiing and snowboarding rather kiting (of course different amounts too, but regardless).
Rip offs!
its because of learners who have no idea that go and practice kiting in the wrong conditions like when its offshore
