Risk Statement & Applicant's Acknowledgement *
Injury (including fatal injury) and/or damage is a well-known and understood inherent risk in the sport of surfing which is an adventure activity of high risk. Surfing competitions will be held in often large and challenging conditions. All competitors and in the case of Junior members (their parents or carers) must determine whether they are both well enough and competent enough to enter the surf and may choose not to enter any heat or withdraw from any heat or event at any time. I agree for me or my child/ward to attend the events and to undertake all activities and/or to participate in association events. In the case of an emergency, I authorise all other members, where it is impracticable to communicate with me, to arrange for me or my child/ward to receive such medical or surgical treatment as may be deemed necessary. I also undertake to pay or reimburse costs which may be incurred for medical attention, ambulance transport and medication while me or my child/ward is attending any event. I understand that although the Association and its office holders attempt to minimise any risk of personal injury within practical boundaries, accidents do happen and all physical activities carry the risk of personal injury. I acknowledge that there is an inherent risk of personal injury in physical activities that will be undertaken associated with the Associations events and I accept that risk.
