NO.
They do not do personal accident cover like BKSA, so until they do they don't get my $$$
This is a sh1t house situation and, yet again, Aussies are being sold short but told we have the best.

YES. Public liability insurance is a good thing! Get sued with out it and you'll never have a new kite again let alone the essentials.
Still waiting to be paid for a claim on an incident that happened last November. I'm out of pocket some $2000, with no resolution in the foreseeable future. However, this morning I have received an email from NSWKBA, so stay tuned.
yes... i think it is more important to be insured for damage YOU cause other people.... why should aksa pay for an injury you caused to yourself?
No.
I'm pretty ambivalent about insurance in general, and from what I've seen and heard so far AKSA/KBV have a ways to go in providing value for money.
I certainly try to minimise risk by checking my gear regularly, following simple and safe launching/landing routines, keeping out of the way of kooks and not going out if the gusts are over 35 knots.
If cover becomes more comprehensive and if I hear good stories of satisfied claimants I'll consider joining.
I was under the impression that by paying an state association fee you received a public liability policy from the national association.
Last I checked, a public liabilty policy covers personal and property damage as a result of me smashing them with a kite. Pretty sure that my injuries aren't covered nor are the injuries to another kiter that I smash.
The IKO policy is the same. Just a PL policy underwritten by some multinational insurer.
