BIG STYLE SURF SCHOOL & BIG DIPPER WAIVER

SURF SCHOOL

Please complete this waiver if you are 18 years or older, either as a participant or as the parent/guardian of a participant under 18.

Each adult (18+) must sign their own waiver. One adult in a booking may sign on behalf of any minors (under 18) they are legally responsible for. If you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian must complete this waiver on your behalf.

I, the undersigned, am at least 18 years of age. I agree to this waiver for myself and, where applicable, on behalf of the listed minors for whom I am a parent, legal guardian, or responsible adult. I knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks of injury, loss, or damage that may occur while participating in activities at BigStyle.

Acknowledgment of Risks

I acknowledge and understand that surfing can involve certain inherent risks which may result in serious injury, disability, or even death. These risks involve, but are not limited to:

• Drowning and other water-related accidents including hypothermia and exhaustion

• Injuries due to falling off the board, colliding with other surfers or objects in the water

• Injury from marine wildlife, rocks, submerged objects, or other natural or man-made obstructions

• Weather-related hazards, such as lightning strikes, strong winds, and rough seas

• Injuries caused by equipment failure or malfunction, including the leash, board, and fins

• Physical exertion leading to muscle strains, sprains, or other injuries

• Sunburn, dehydration, or other environmental factors

Health and Safety Representation

Further, I have explained these risks to the listed minors. I certify that I and/or the listed minors are in good physical condition for the activities in which I and/or they will be participating, and that I and/or they do not have any medical or other condition that may preclude safe participation. Such conditions include, but are not limited to, cardiovascular issues, respiratory problems, skin infections, pregnancy, or any other medical condition that can be exacerbated by heat or prolonged exposure to hot water. I confirm that I will notify BigStyle and its staff of any such conditions. I accept that certain activities at BigStyle are unsuitable for those with certain physical or medical conditions, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Release and Waiver of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Irish law, I hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue BigStyle Ltd, its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, and assigns (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, injury, or death that may be sustained by me while participating in the aforementioned activities.

This release does not apply to liability arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of BigStyle Ltd or its staff, and nothing in this waiver shall limit any rights I may have under applicable Irish consumer protection law.

Indemnification

I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any loss, liability, damage, or costs, including legal fees and expenses, that may arise due to my actions or omissions, or the actions or omissions of the listed minors in my care, in connection with participation in BigStyle activities—except where such loss, liability, damage or cost arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Released Parties.

Compliance and Safety

I and those in my care will undertake warm-up exercises/stretching before taking part in physical activities. Due to the physical nature of certain activities (including shocks, falls, etc.), we recommend that pregnant individuals and those who are not physically fit and able do not take part in physically demanding activities. If participants have medical, injury, or fitness concerns they are advised to consult their doctor and notify BigStyle and its staff in advance. I accept that responsibility for the safe use of activities and equipment by me and those in my care rests with me. I agree to indemnify BigStyle for any loss it suffers due to failure by me or minors in my care to comply with staff instructions or BigStyle’s Terms and Conditions.

I understand and agree that surfboard rentals are only permitted on beaches where a lifeguard is present. If I am unsure which beaches meet this requirement, I will ask staff for guidance before entering the water.

Big Dipper Waiver and Release of Liability (18+ Only)

Note: Children under 18 are not permitted to use the Big Dipper facilities. If you attend the Big Dipper you must be 18 years or older to sign this waiver. All adult participants in a booking must complete this waiver.

Acknowledgement of Risk

I, the undersigned, confirm that I am at least 18 years old and voluntarily accept full responsibility for my participation in Big Dipper’s facilities and experiences, including use of the sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge pool.

I understand these activities carry inherent risks, including but not limited to:

Sauna/Hot Tub: Overheating, dehydration, dizziness, fainting, heat-related illness, sudden blood pressure changes, infections, and slipping on wet surfaces.

Cold Plunge Pool: Cold shock, hyperventilation, hypothermia, dizziness, and slipping.

Additional risks include bruises, burns, falls, sprains, spinal injuries, and potential risks to those with pacemakers, pregnancy, or medical conditions.

I understand that BigDipper activities may not be suitable for everyone, and I am responsible for assessing my own physical and medical fitness. I agree to inform staff of any relevant conditions.

Health and Medical Consent

I certify I am in good health and not under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication that may impair my judgment. I understand that participation with medical conditions such as heart or respiratory issues, skin infections, or during pregnancy may be unsafe.

I authorise Big Dipper to seek emergency medical attention if required.

Waiver and Release

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I waive and release BigStyle, its staff, directors, agents, and affiliates ("Released Parties") from any liability for injury, illness, loss, or death during my participation, except in cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

Indemnity

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claims, damages, legal costs, or liabilities arising from my actions, including failure to follow safety guidelines.

Safety and Conduct

I agree to:

• Follow all posted rules and staff instructions.

• Wear appropriate attire and act responsibly.

• Not participate if under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Respect staff decisions; I understand Big Dipper may remove or refuse entry to anyone for safety reasons, without refund.

Behavior and Conduct

BigStyle & Big Dipper staff reserve the right, in its discretion, to refuse admittance to or to remove a participant from activities should it deem it necessary. No refunds will be given. This includes where a participant does not comply with safety rules, staff direction, does not use the supplied safety equipment properly, is deemed to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or is not wearing appropriate attire.

Emergency Medical Services

I grant BigStyle & Big Dipper staff the right to request emergency medical services for me and/or the listed minors if deemed medically necessary. Information provided as part of this waiver can be shared with third parties to establish proof of consent in accordance with the BigStyle Privacy and Cookies Policy.

Compliance with Safety Instructions and Signage

I agree to adhere to all safety rules, signage, and instructions provided by BigStyle & Big Dipper and its staff before, during, and after using the facilities. These rules are designed to ensure the safety of all participants. I commit to reading and following all posted signs and verbal instructions.

Personal Property

I understand that I am responsible for any personal property I bring, including but not limited to clothing, electronic devices, and personal equipment.

Terms and Conditions

This waiver operates in conjunction with the BigStyle Privacy and Cookies Policy and Terms and Conditions, which I also expressly agree to by signing below. I agree to follow all instructions in Safety Rules provided before or during activities, and to comply with instructions from BigStyle & Big Dipper staff.

Photographic and or visual images taken by the SUP School of my participation in the Program may be used for general promotion of the Organiser's activities.
