Course participation, liability and other very important information

The activity of surfing carries with it a degree of risk both to people and property, even if enjoyed under proper supervision. It is also a strenuous activity that requires those taking part to have a reasonable standard of swimming and fitness. All course members must therefore make us aware of any medical conditions , illnesses or allergies they may have and any prescribed medication they are taking on the booking form at the time of booking. No-one should participate if they have a medical condition such as for example being pregnant. It is down to the participant with a medical condition to check with his or hers Doctor to find out if surfing/surf fitness is within the customers physical and or mental parameters.

All surf hire members must be able to swim at least 50 metres and must in no circumstances be under the influence of any alcohol, drugs or medication at the time of surfing which may adversely affect their physical abilities.

All other liability or conditions implied by law are excluded to the fullest extent possible.

Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on ‘Checkout’ and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.

We accept credit card payment. If you are shopping from North America or anywhere else, place your order and your credit card company will convert the transaction to US Dollars or your own currency.
