There is a waiver form  below. We use it as a teaching point as well as our waiver. If you combine the Reality check page with the Waiver you get an idea of what we want to do............... which is to very clearly establish that on the Creek, River or Any water: 1. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU No one else takes over that job just because you are in a rented or borrowed boat, guide or no guide. 2. That you can be hurt, possibly die doing what YOU have chosen to do. 3. It is your judgment that determines whether or not you go on the creek or river as well as what you do on the creek or river. 4. Instructors and Guides instruct and advise and help when they safely can. They are never a substitute for your judgment. They don't make you do anything, they may not be able to solve your problems; they may not be able to protect you from harm.

***Additionally you need to understand and agree that you are financially responsible for the safe return of rental equipment trusted to your use and care, in the same condition as you received it, less normal wear and tear. Boats are valued at $450 - 500. Life jacket $25, Paddle $25, Labor for salvage or repairs at $40 per working hour.
