Safety
Paddle sports and all outdoor activities involve inherent
risks for which you must accept responsibility. We will make every effort to
provide you with a safe and enjoyable trip but you must assume responsibility
for your own safety. You must wear your life vest at all times on the water. You
will be required to sign a waiver and release form prior for participation in
any activity. Minors must have a parent or guardian sign for them.
All our guided trips have a Level Rating. If you wish to increase your skills
and level rating we suggest you take one of our Canoe or Kayak instructional
classes.
