Release and Indemnity Agreement Gig Harbor Kayak Club I, ____________________________, hereby state that I wish to take part in the activities of the Gig Harbor Kayak Club, a noncommercial, informal association of people interested in the sport of and recreation of sea kayaking. In return for being able to join in these activities, I agree to assume the risks and dangers of sea kayaking. I also agree that I will be personally responsible for my own safety and that of any minor person whom I bring to a Gig Harbor Kayak Club activity. Risks of sea kayaking: Sea kayaking can be a dangerous and sometimes life-threatening sport. There are various hazards associated with this kind of outdoor activity, including particularly the tides, currents, unpredictability of the weather and the sea, wildlife, accidents and illness in remote places, and the actions of other participants. My responsibilities: I am responsible for my own safety and happiness. It is my responsibility to review the Gig Harbor Kayak Club’s descriptions of each trip and trip equipment required, to be sure I have the skills and necessary equipment to participate in Gig Harbor Kayak Club trips and activities. I understand it is incumbent upon me to act in a responsible manner and not to act in such a manner as to place myself and/or other trip participants in dangerous situations. Furthermore, I agree to use a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD), type III. I am also responsible for seeing that any guest I bring to a Club activity understands and signs a copy of this agreement and agrees to the above conditions. Trip coordinators: Trip coordinators act solely as a point-of-contact for trip participants and are not in any way trained, certified, or pre-qualified by the Gig Harbor Kayak Club so far as their skills and abilities as kayakers or leaders. They act voluntarily and without compensation, in the same manner that anyone among a group of acquaintances might agree to act as a point-of-contact for a particular activity or trip. Release and Indemnity Agreement: In consideration of, and as part payment of the right to participate in the activities offered by the Gig Harbor Kayak Club, I hereby release the Gig Harbor Kayak Club and its leaders, officers, and members from any and all liability, claims, and causes of action arising out of, or in any way connected with my participation in any activities offered by the Gig Harbor Kayak Club. I personally assume all risks in connection with these activities, including but not limited to those involving death, drowning, personal injury and property damage. The terms of this agreement shall serve as a release and indemnity agreement for my heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and for all members of my family, including any minors. (Parent or legal guardian must sign for all persons under eighteen years of age). I have fully informed myself of the contents of this release and indemnity agreement, and I agree to its terms.
