Hi all,

I don't know if it's just me or if car breaks in's to steal kite gear are getting more frequent?

I used to naively think that thieves weren't interested in stealing kite gear, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Two of my friends got broken into recently and one just last night who lost 2 kites, 2 boards, 2 bars etc, even Thom in Exmouth got broken into 2 days ago...

Of course moving the gear from the car to the house is the best and smartest idea but we all know how much of a pain that is when you have a lot of gear.

I was wondering how much you guys pay for insurance on your kite gear? Car insurance companies don't seem to cover for valuables above $500 so that doesn't seem to be a good option. I phoned RAC about home insurance that covers your equipment in the car, up to 5 items for a max of $1000 per item. That insurance cost $290 per year and you essentially have $5000 worth of kite gear covered. Is this good ?

I'd be keen to hear about other options and costs of insurance for kite gear

Thanks

Christian
