DANGEROUS SPORT DISCLAIMER

Surfing is an extreme sport and involves risk.  We may also discuss other extreme sports, including without limitation, skateboarding, snowboarding, and freediving, which also involve risk.  Serious risks include, without limitation, the potential for serious bodily injury, sickness and disease, permanent disability, paralysis and loss of life. 

When engaging in any sport activities, it is your sole reasonability to assess your ability levels and the safety of conditions, including, without limitation, weather conditions, equipment conditions, security, and local laws, rules, and customs.  Additionally, it is your sole responsibility to determine whether you are sufficiently fit and healthy enough to engage in any sport activities. 

While our goal is to provide the knowledge you need to safely enjoy your time surfing, we cannot guarantee your safety.  In accordance with these Terms, we will not be liable for any damages that may occur to yourself or others.
