2.  Risks of Activity.  The Undersigned agree and understand that taking part in the Activity can be HAZARDOUS AND INVOLVES THE RISK OF PHYSICAL INJURY, DISEASE, AND/OR DEATH. The Undersigned acknowledge that the Activity is inherently dangerous and fully realize the dangers of participating in the Activity. The risks and dangers of the activity include, but are not limited to: changing weather conditions, changing tides, undertows, changing water conditions, cold water immersion, hidden underwater obstacles, trees or other above water obstacles, changing currents, drowning, exposure, swimming, overturning, improper use of equipment, carrying or transporting boards and other equipment, entrapment of feet or other body parts under rocks, other objects, or with equipment, equipment failure, dehydration, sunburn, not being familiar with the waterway and forecasted water and weather conditions, high surf, high wind, lightning strikes, rapids, other watercraft, docks, pilings or any other obstacles, and mental distress from exposure to any one of the above. The Undersigned acknowledge and understand that the description of the risks listed above is not complete and that participating in the Activity may be dangerous and include other risks.

3.  Release, Indemnification, and Assumption of Risk.  In consideration of and prior to the Participant being permitted to participate in the Activity, the Undersigned agree as follows:

5.  Medical Care. Undersigned authorize the Released Parties and/or their authorized personnel to call for medical care for Participant or to transport Participant to a medical facility or hospital if, in the opinion of such personnel, medical attention is needed. Undersigned agree to pay all costs associated with such medical care and related transportation.

I have carefully read all of the foregoing and understand its contents. I am aware that I am releasing legal rights that otherwise may exist and assert that I am signing freely and voluntarily without duress.
