I Agree

I do hereby affirm and acknowledge that I have been fully informed of the inherent risks and hazards associated with kayaking and paddleboarding (SUP) activities. Inherent risks and hazards include but are not limited to:

I assume full responsibility for my participation.

In the event that I file a lawsuit against FAM Coastal, LLC, I agree to do so solely in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division. I hereby irrevocably waive any other jursidiction or venue to which I or my estate might otherwise have been entitled. I agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the California courts. I agree that if any portion of this agreement/contract is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portion shall remain in full force and effect; this document is intended to be interpreted as broadly as possible. A copy of this release contract can be used as if it was the original.
