I acknowledge that I am fully informed of the inherent hazards and risks associated with non-motorized (i.e. paddle boards) personal watercraft and related water sport activities in which I am about to engage
I understand that there are inherent risks involved with paddle boarding including, but not limited to equipment failures, perils of the sea or waterways, act of other participants, adverse lagoon and weather conditions and I hereby assume such risks. I am physically/mentally able to participate in the water sport activities in which I am about to engage and able to board and disembark from a paddleboard unaided and I will not hold Three Brothers Boards, its employees, agents, endorsers or other associated parties responsible if I am injured as a result of ANY problems (medical, accidental or otherwise) which occur while paddling or riding in the paddle board or participating in the trip.
I understand I have a duty to exercise reasonable care for my own safety and I agree to do so. Water shoes, insect repellant, suntan lotion and water are my responsibility. I will alert my guide immediately during my trip or lesson if I am uncomfortable with my paddle boarding abilities.
I understand that the guides/instructors have limited medical facilities. Appropriate medical care must be summoned by phone/radio & treatment will be delayed until I can be returned to shore and/or transported to a proper care facility. Three Brothers Boards has made no representations to me that they can or will perform safe rescues or first aid. In the event I show signs of distress or call for first aid, I would like assistance and will not hold Three Brothers Boards, its employees, volunteers or their guests responsible for their actions in attempting the performance of rescue or first aid.
If participating in a guided tour I will be present for the safety presentation given by the guide/instructor and be attentive. If there is anything I have been taught differently or do not understand, I will immediately inform the guide/instructor.
Prior to leaving the put-in for the trip, I will inspect the equipment that I will be using. I will not hold anyone at Three Brothers Boards responsible for my failure to inspect my equipment prior to paddling.
I hereby agree as follows:
