Accident Waiver and Release of Liability Against Big Wave Risk Assessment Group

Name of Activity, Event, or Course: Big Wave Risk Assessment Group – Surf Responder & Ocean Safety Summit (“Event”) in the year 2025.

I acknowledge and understand that my participation in this activity, event, or course may expose me to risks of injury or damage to my property that may arise from factors including, but not limited to: natural hazards such as high winds, heavy surf, unshielded sun exposure, and unpredictable or volatile weather conditions; delayed emergency medical response and assistance; dangerous or defective equipment; equipment malfunction or breakdown; failure by participants to follow safety rules and precautions; or negligence or carelessness on the part of the person or entities being released.

I agree to be instructed on the safety rules and precautions for this activity, event, or course. I also agree to strictly observe and practice these safety rules and precautions at all times, for my own safety as well as for the safety of others, including Big Wave Risk Assessment Group, its instructional staff, officers, directors, agents, affiliates, employees, members, contractors, and volunteers (collectively, “Releasees”), I understand, however, that participation in ocean/swimming pool activities, paddle-powered, and activities involving a Personal Watercraft (“PWC”) (such as a jet ski) carries inherent risks of injury or property damage beyond the control of the Releasees and other participants, even if I follow all safety precautions. Because of these inherent risks, I acknowledge and understand that the Releasees cannot guarantee my complete personal safety.

I certify that I am physically fit, have sufficiently prepared or trained for participation in this activity, and have not been advised to not participate by a qualified medical professional. I certify that there are no health-related reasons or problems which preclude my participation in this activity.

I acknowledge that this Accident Waiver and Release of Liability Form will be used by the event holders, sponsors, and organizers of the activity in which I may participate, and that it will govern my actions and responsibilities at said activity.

In consideration of my application and permitting me to participate in this activity, event, or course, I hereby take action for myself, my executors, administrators, heirs, next of kin, successors, and assigns as follows:

(A) I WAIVE, RELEASE, AND DISCHARGE the Releasees from any and all liability, including but not limited to, liability arising from the negligence or fault of the entities or persons released, for my death, disability, personal injury, property damage, property theft, or actions of any kind which may hereafter occur to me including my traveling to and from this activity;

(B) INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS, AND PROMISE NOT TO SUE the Releasees from any and all liabilities or claims made as a result of participation in this activity, whether caused by the negligence of release or otherwise.

I acknowledge that the Releasees are NOT responsible for the errors, omissions, acts, or failures to act of any party or entity conducting a specific activity on their behalf. 

I acknowledge that this activity may involve a test of a person’s physical and mental limits and carries with it the potential for death, serious injury, and property loss. The risks include but are not limited to, those caused by terrain, facilities, temperature, weather, condition of participants, equipment, vehicular traffic, lack of hydration, and actions of other people including, but not limited to, participants, volunteers, monitors, and/or producers of the activity. These risks are not only inherent to participants but are also present for volunteers.

The Accident Waiver and Release of Liability Form shall be construed broadly to provide a release and waiver to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law. 

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii, United States. Any legal action or proceeding arising under or with respect to this agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Hawaii, and I hereby consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
