This is a legal document, and my signature is my acknowledgement of its contents. I will not sign this unless I fully understand and agree to be bound by this Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk Agreement (“Agreement”). Participant is a minor. I hereby acknowledge by signing below, to be the lawful parent and/or guardian of Participant and I acknowledge my qualifications to sign the Agreement on behalf of Participant, who I am registering for a program that involves BeachSports Activities, defined below. I understand that surfing, skateboarding, volleyball and other activities offered by BeachSports (“BeachSports Activities”) are HAZARDOUS RECREATION ACTIVITIES that carry a degree of risk that no amount of care, caution, instruction, or expertise can completely eliminate. I am aware that beach and open-water activities in general can be dangerous and that surfing, in particular, involves inherent risk. I may damage my belongings, get hurt, get injured, become ill, drown, or even die. I further acknowledge that I have voluntarily chosen for Participant to rent equipment and/or participate in BeachSports Activities. I know and fully understand that surfing and skateboarding are dangerous outdoor activities in uncontrolled environments with inherent risks and hazards where serious accidents can occur. Participants can sustain property damage, injury, illness, or even die. I acknowledge and willingly and voluntarily assume on behalf of Participant all risks and hazards in BeachSports Activities in all phases of these activities. Such risks and hazards may include but are not limited to: loss of board control, collisions, falls from surfboards, malfunction of equipment, collision with man-made or natural objects, submersion in water, encounters with animals, marine life, algae and bacteria, extreme temperatures, sun damage and the unavailability of appropriate medical attention. I understand and acknowledge that the above list is not meant to be complete or exhaustive and that the other unforeseen or unanticipated risks known or unknown may also exist and result in injury, illness, disease or death. I agree to indemnify, release from liability, and hold harmless Sports Camp Management, LLC (dba BeachSports & PCH Skate Camps), LLC, the County of Los Angeles, the L.A. County Department of Beaches and Harbors, and the state of California, together with their members, principals, parents, subsidiaries, partners, representatives, officers, directors, employees, agents, independent contractors, predecessors, successors, affiliated or related entities, and assistants (hereafter the “Released Parties”), from and against any and all legal action, liability, claim, judgment, cost, expense or right of action, for any personal injury, death, damage or loss, including without limitation that which may occur as a result of the Released Parties’ negligence, the negligence of third parties, encounters with marine or other wildlife, or the conditions of the beach, parking lot, and premises, occurring to Participant or Participant’s property while participating in, or traveling to or from any camp session or event offered by the Released Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon my estate, my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators, representatives, successors and assigns. I specifically waive any claim or right to assert any cause of action or alleged cause of action or claim or demand which has, through oversight or error intentionally or unintentionally or through a mutual mistake, been omitted from this Agreement. I accept full responsibility for the safety of Participant, and voluntarily and expressly assume all risk of harm, whether foreseen or unforeseen, including loss of life, personal injury, or loss of property, which may occur while Participant participates in BeachSports Activities, or while traveling to or from any camp sessions or events conducted by or sponsored by the Released Parties. I will not sue or bring legal action against the Released Parties in consideration for BeachSports agreeing to provide equipment rental, instruction and/or participation in BeachSports Activities to Participant. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, and any action, claim or proceeding relating to this Agreement or BeachSports Activities shall be commenced exclusively in the courts of California located in the County of Los Angeles. Except as provided in this paragraph, I certify that Participant knows how to swim and maintain buoyancy in the open water. Likewise, Participant is in good physical and mental health.

I hereby agree to follow all rules, regulations, and instructions of BeachSports while participating in BeachSports Activities, or by renting equipment from BeachSports. If I cannot certify to any of the above statements, I have designated this in an email submitted to info@BeachSports.com, and this Agreement will remain in full force and effect except that this certification will be amended to the extent of the information on the registration form. You agree to immediately inform the BeachSports camp director in writing of any change to any of the above certifications. CORONAVIRUS / COVID-19 ADDENDUM The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization.

On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless BeachSports, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of BeachSports, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any BeachSports program. By signing my name below, I attest that this release of liability is binding and cannot be changed by oral agreement.
