In consideration of participating in the sport of kayaking and paddle boarding, and for other good and valuable consideration, I hereby agree to release and discharge from liability arising from negligence Thundercloud Adventure Enterprises, LLC (KT Kayak Rentals) and its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, volunteers, participants and all other persons or entities acting for them (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Releasees”) on behalf of myself, my children, parents, heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate, and also as follows:
1. I acknowledge that the sport of kayaking and paddle boarding involves known and unanticipated risks which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis or permanent disability, death and property damage.

I understand such risks simply cannot be eliminated despite the use of safety equipment, without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.
2. I expressly accept and assume all of the risks inherent in this activity or that might have been caused by negligence of the Releasees‘. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary and I elect to participate despite the risks. In addition, if at any time I believe that event conditions are unsafe or that I am unable to participate due to physical or medical conditions, then I will immediately discontinue participation.
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Releasees’ from any and all claims, demands or causes of action which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity, or my use of their equipment or facilities, arising from negligence. This release does not apply to claims arising from intentional conduct. Should Releasees’ or anyone acting on their behalf be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.
4. I represent that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may suffer or cause while participating in this activity, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further represent that I have no medical or physical condition which could interfere with my safety in this activity, or I am willing to assume and bear the costs of all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition.

Also, I understand that this activity might not be made available to me or that the cost to engage in this activity would be significantly greater if I were to choose not to sign this release and agree that the opportunity to participate at the stated cost in return for the execution of this release is a reasonable bargain. I have read and understand this legal document and I agree to be bound by its terms.
