Eastern Marine Services Inc. T/A Eastern Watersports Waiver and Release Agreement

NOTE TO THE PARTICIPANT

Participation in any water related sport exposes the participant to certain risks and dangers. Accidents and injuries (both superficial and fatal) resulting from the forces of Mother Nature, boaters (both power and sail), malfunctioning equipment, unseen obstacles, fatigue, and your own misjudgment are a very real possibility.

Eastern Watersports considers safety to be its utmost concern and as such, its staff includes individuals trained in lifesaving, C.P.R., and First Aid. The nature of these sports, however, makes it impossible to foresee and protect the participant from all conceivable dangers associated with water and water sports. Once the participant leaves land and enters the water, be it a pool, lake, river, pond, stream, bay, ocean or other body of water, he/she must be prepared to assume all risks associated therewith.
