All participants are required to review and sign the waiver prior to participation.

Liability Waiver Requirement
 

All participants must review and sign SurfLife Surf School’s liability waiver prior to participating in any surf lesson or activity. The waiver outlines the inherent risks associated with ocean-based activities, including surfing in cold-water conditions, and confirms participant acknowledgment and responsibility.

 

Because surfing involves physical exertion, changing ocean conditions, and cold-water immersion, participants are required to disclose any relevant medical information that may affect safe participation.

 

This includes:

• Pre-existing medical conditions

• Asthma or other respiratory conditions

• Heart or circulatory conditions

• Food or medication allergies (including latex or neoprene)

• Current medications that may affect balance, breathing, or alertness

• Recent injuries or surgeries

• History of fainting, seizures, panic attacks, or cold sensitivity

 

By signing the waiver, participants confirm they are medically able to participate or have consulted a physician prior to their lesson.

 

For minors, the waiver and disclosures must be completed by a parent or legal guardian. For corporate or group sessions, disclosures must be completed by each participant or an authorized representative.
