Safety Is A Necessary Concern For Kiteboarding (kitesurfing)
By Cathi Long

The American Kite Association (AKSA) is making international insurance coverage easy to secure with instant confirmations online and via email. For those that are participating in any hazardous sporting activity (so long as it is solely for leisure, recreational, entertainment or fitness purposes), a Sports Rider Coverage is absolutely essential. To register for this important coverage a special web page has been created exclusively for AKSA members: http://www.eglobalhealth.com/aksa.html

According to Logan Long, president of AKSA, “It is irresponsible for our members to travel abroad and participate in this exciting but risky sport without proper insurance coverage. It is for this precise reason that AKSA has aligned with eGlobalHealth Insurers Agency, LLC and MNUI to provide the best sports rider insurance coverage available today.”

The four programs being offered to AKSA members include:

•The Atlas Series: Short-term health insurance for individuals traveling outside their Home Country.Whether traveling for business or pleasure, the Atlas plan is ideal. Packages are available from a minimum of 5 days up to a maximum of one year.
