ISSA - International Slalom Skateboarding Association

Hello,

trying to get some info on event insurance. Our company wants to sponsor a local slalom series that runs during the summer. I've talked to a few people that are open to letting us use their facility but are asking for liability coverage.

I am familiar w/this type of policy but wanted to know if there was a company that anyone could reccomend we talk to that is familiar w/slalom. Any info/help would be great!

Thanks,
Miles

K&K Insurance. I'm traveling so I don't have their #. Google them.

Miles for the PocketPistolSkates Outlaw Shoot Out and The Texas Cold Fusion Sizzler that was held down here in the Rio Grande Valley we also used K+K insurance. The phone # is 1-800-426-2889, I believe Nick Pintos is the Texas agent you want to ask for. Please let the Texas Outlaws know about your event. Your Amigo Eddy Texas Outlaws.

K&K is NOT insuring skateboard events this year.

Anybody with any suggestions, please contact me ASAP - 706.338.3304

Thanks.

*This will NOT interfere with this years Red Clay Cup - the event is under the umbrella (and insurance) of Twilight................however I was hoping to make the Friday GS a legitimate permitted event rather than an "outlaw" event, but as those who were there last year can attest - the police drove through our "outlaw" race last year and had no problem with it

Rick's right, I contacted K&K just yesterday about renewing my coverage for Luna and was told they no longer cover skateboarding. I thought the 70's were over...

Interesting that it worked out for Eddy. Eddy, shout at me please.

Looking for another avenue. If anyone comes up with anything please contact me.

I just did a google for "+sports+event+skateboard+insurance" and got back www.sportsinsurance.com. I couldn't find anywhere on the site any disclaimer of events NOT covered. A rather lengthy questionnaire, though, under "special events" is used in order to generate a quote for a one-time premium.

I'm not a promoter and didn't go through the motions, but it looked promising to me. Also, never forget Lloyd's of London. Yes, they will insure a skateboard race. Just about any independent insurance agent could get a quote, write a policy and take your money for Lloyds.

Of course, nothing in the above in any way reflects on COSTS. I have no clue if it's affordable or not. But at least that's better than no source at all.

Try these guys:

(909) 307-6076
(800) 336- 6076

Ask for Houston - tell 'em Jack Smith sent you.

Cool - will give them a try - thx!

Let us know what you found out, OK? Thanks for the info, Jack!
