RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, PARENTAL CONSENT & INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

Prior to beginning any of the water sport activities, we require every participant to complete our Safety and Training Session.

 

Information about the water sport activities offered Surf and Sport Lake Norman

All of our water sport activities involve being pulled by or riding behind a boat.
The boats we use are designed for water sports and can travel at high speeds. How fast a boat goes will depend on the specific rider, skill level, and activity, but during some water sport activities, can reach speeds of 30mph or more.

All of the water sport activities offered involve risk and all can be dangerous. You are riding behind a boat, being pulled by a rope, while laying, kneeling, sitting or standing on an object such as a tube or board. In addition, some of these activities require being strapped to the board (ex.- wakeboarding, water skiing, kneeboarding, etc.).

As a result, the possibility exists that you may become physically injured by: * falling off the board or tube;
* getting hit by a board or tube;
* hitting the water;
* the rope;
* the boat;
* other boats;
* objects in the water;
* animals or creatures in the water; or
* a variety of other situations that may or may not be avoidable.

IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN THAT YOU WILL FALL WHILE PARTICIPATING IN WATER SPORTS – IF (AND WHEN)
