Outdoor Club Surfing Lesson trip agreement, Sunday, May 14, 2017 at 8 a.m.

Initial to accept the following terms: No refunds for no-shows or people who arrive after the lesson has started, or who are late and can’t find us if we need to move to another beach because of water conditions or lack of waves _______

To participate in the surfing lessons you must pass a swim test or provide a current Red Cross or YMCA lifeguard card or scuba certification. IF YOU PAY for the trip, to have us hold a space for you, before you take the swim test or before you show us the proof of swimming ability, and you don’t show up to take the test or show us the proof, you will not be allowed to take the lesson and you will not get a refund._______

De Anza is not responsible for your transportation, so any liability is strictly yours. ________ De Anza is not giving the surfing lessons, so any liability is strictly the surfing company’s._______ If you decide to break safety rules on this trip, either De Anza ones like no alcohol or drugs allowed, or ones from the surfing instructors, you risk not being allowed to join the Outdoor Club in any other events, and possibly risk even being kicked off the trip or out of college. _____ You (or your legal guardian if you are under 18), will need to sign a release form from the surfing company ____

It’s rare, but sometimes beaches are posted as polluted by the State or County. If this happens, it might turn out that the sign was in effect during a small, temporary outbreak, but is not by the time we get there. The College has to assume a sign is in effect as long as it is posted. In this case we will have to cancel the official event and the paperwork to get people refunds can take weeks. Many people still swim or surf when beaches are posted. If you want to you will have to bring along the means of paying for the lesson.________

Initial or sign here that you have no questions or have had any questions about the trip or trip rules answered .
