AGREEMENT
(“Release”)

Information about Shred the Gnar Wake School and its Instructors                      

  • Shred the Gnar Wake School is a company dedicated to teaching all types of people how to safely enjoy wakeboarding, wakesurfing, water-skiing, tubing, kneeboarding and other water

    sports.                     

  • Each instructor at Shred the Gnar Wake School is experienced in driving boats designed for water sports, participating in water sports (some at a professional level), and teaching water sports.                     
  • Our number one priority is making sure everyone has a safe, enjoyable, and educational experience while on the water.                       
  • Prior to beginning any of the water sport activities, we require every participant to complete our Safety and Training Session.


    Information about the water sport activities offered at Shred the Gnar Wake School              

  • All of our water sport activities involve being pulled by or riding behind a boat.                     
  • The boats we use are designed for water sports and can travel at high speeds. How fast a boat goes will depend on the specific rider, skill level, and activity, but during some water sport activities, can reach speeds of 30mph or more.                     
  • Due to the wake created by our boats or other boat traffic, the possibility exists that you could become airborne (some more advanced participants often seek out this possibility!)                    
  • All of the water sport activities offered involve risk and all can be dangerous. You are riding behind a boat, being pulled by a rope, while laying, kneeling, sitting or standing on an object such as a tube or board. In addition, some of these activities require being strapped to the board (ex.- wakeboarding, water skiing, kneeboarding, etc.).                 
  • As a result, the possibility exists that you may become physically injured by:

    * falling off the board or tube;

    * getting hit by a board or tube;

    * hitting the water;

    * the rope;

    * the boat;

    * other boats;

    * objects in the water;

    * animals or creatures in the water; or

    * a variety of other situations that may or may not be avoidable.

   Other information you should know:

  • All water sport activities offered at Shred the Gnar Wake School require some level of athletic ability and physical fitness.                     
  • All Participants are required to wear a life jacket at all times while participating in a water sport activity.                     
  • All Participants are required to wear a helmet at all times while participating in a water sport activity unless a Helmet Waiver is signed.

     You should ALWAYS:                      
  • Follow instructions given by an instructor                    
  • Ask if you have questions                                    
  • Inform instructors about any physical or psychological limitations that may affect their ability to follow instructions or perform a certain act                     
  • Wait for the instructor’s direction before getting into the water                      
  • Let the instructor know if they are uncomfortable when participating in a water sport or with performing a certain act                       
  • Wear sunscreen                  
  • HAVE FUN!
                             

    You should NEVER:                     

  • Swim under the boat
  • Wrap a tow rope around a body part                     
  • Try to ride close to another object in the water                      
  • Use alcohol or drugs before or during any participation in a water sport                    
  • Attempt maneuvers beyond your skill level

    IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN THAT YOU WILL FALL WHILE PARTICIPATING IN WATER SPORTS – IF (AND WHEN)

    YOU DO:                        

  • Let go of the tow rope                                          

  • Don’t panic – your lifejacket will help you surface                   

  • Orient yourself with where you are in the water                      
  • Hold at least one hand high in the air and waive it so you will be easily see by the instructor and other boaters
