Follow the wind with battleface.

Like the wind, travel plans can change quickly. battleface policies can be purchased while already traveling, and can easily be extended by buying a new one online.

Whether you decide to go kiteboarding in Kenya, hit the waves on a remote island in the Philippines, go on a multi-day downwind adventure in Brazil, or all three: you are in the best hands with battleface. With coverage in remote places, including countries with government travel warnings, battleface goes as far as you do.
