whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, including risks arising from natural ocean conditions, my own actions or omissions, the actions or omissions of other participants, equipment use, and environmental hazards. I choose to participate despite these risks.

of unassisted open-ocean swimming, understand basic surf hazards including rip current escape, and am able to independently assess and manage personal safety in ocean conditions. I understand that the Organizer relies on this representation.
