The individual named below (referred to as "I" or "me") desires to participate the sport of kitesurfing, kiteboarding, landkiting, ground instruction, water instruction, flight instruction and related activities (hereinafter collectively called “Kiteboarding” or the "Activity") provided by We Love Kiteboarding, and Keiron Smith, an International Kiteboarding Organization Certified Instructor (the "Keiron") at various locations across Ontario as the case may be. As lawful consideration for being permitted by the Keiron to engage in the Activity/the intangible value that I will gain by participating in the Activity and receiving his instructions, I agree to all the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (this "Agreement"). 1. I am aware and understand that the Activity is a potentially dangerous activity and involves the risk of serious injury, disability, death, or property damage. I am further aware and understand that I may be around the presence of motorized vehicles and in variable conditions which may further increase the risk of serious injury, disability, death and property damage. I am also aware of the contagious nature of bacterial and viral diseases including the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the risk that I may be exposed to or contract COVID-19 or other infectious diseases by engaging in the Activity, which may result in serious illness, personal injury, disability, death, or property damage. I understand and acknowledge that these risks may result from or be compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of Keiron, or his employees or others, including negligent emergency response or rescue operations of the Keiron, employees or contractors of Keiron. I understand that while the Keiron has implemented measures to reduce the risk of injury from the Activity and the spread of COVID-19, Keiron cannot guarantee that I will not be injured generally, or infected with COVID-19 due to my participation in the Activity. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITY WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED. I HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL RISKS OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM MY ENGAGING IN THE ACTIVITY, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF KEIRON OR OTHERWISE. 2. I hereby expressly waive and release any and all claims which I have or may in future have, against Keiron, and his employees, agents, assistants, representatives, affiliates, shareholders, successors, and assigns (collectively, "Releasees"), on account of injury, illness, disability, death, or property damage arising out of or attributable to my participation in the Activity, whether arising out of the negligence of the Keiron or any other Releasee or otherwise, including without limitation, breach of contract, or breach of any statutory or other duty of care. I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the Keiron or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge the Keiron and all other Releasees from liability under such claims. 3.

I will comply with all federal, provincial and local laws, orders, directives, and guidelines related to the Activity and COVID-19 while participating in the Activity, including, without limitation, requirements related to hand sanitation, social and physical distancing, and use of face coverings and safety equipment. I will also follow all instructions, recommendations, and cautions of Keiron at all times during the Activity. If at any time I believe conditions to be unsafe, that I am no longer in proper physical condition to participate in the Activity, or I begin experiencing symptoms of the Disease, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the Activity. I recognize that it is not the responsibility of any Releasee to determine my fitness to participate in the Activity. 4.
