This release is executed, between Waimānalo Canoe Club (“CLUB”), of Waimānalo, Hawaii and the Paddler (RELEASER). I, being over 18 years of age, in consideration of being permitted to participate in the sport of canoe paddling with the CLUB, do hereby release and hold harmless the CLUB from any and every claim, demand, action or right of action, of whatever kind or nature arising from or by reason of any injury to me known or unknown death, or property damage resulting from any accident which may occur because of participating in canoe paddling or any activities in connection with canoe paddling (including social activities), whether by negligence or not. I further release all members and coaches from any claim whatsoever I may have on account of first aid, treatment or service rendered to me during my participation in this sport. This release contains the entire agreement between the CLUB and me and the terms of this release are a contract. I have read this release, I understand it, and I sign it as my own free act. I understand that before I sign, I may have my attorney review this release, to explain in detail the full extent of the legal rights I am waiving.  FUNDRAISING POLICY: Every member will participate in the Waimānalo Regatta AND a minimum of two fundraising events. ***One fundraiser event may be traded and deemed fulfilled IF a paddler/guardian of child agrees to assist Coach Nolan or staff by holding the wa'a (canoe) at one of the Ke'ehi Lagoon races.  Time of volunteering may be 20 minutes or more. I understand that I am responsible to sell ALL tickets or items issued to me for any fundraising event, I will be responsible to pay for any unsold or lost amounts. No tickets or items may be returned once issued to me. GUIDELINES: Water safety and safety measures will be exercised at ALL TIMES. Any negligence on the part of any member/paddler that results in an unsafe condition, may result in termination of membership. It is highly recommended that all paddlers know how to swim. Respect yourself, others, and Waimānalo Canoe Club at all times. No bullying! Canoes and equipment are to be used only under the direction/instruction of Waimānalo Canoe Club’s Head Coach.  All members will be held responsible for any/all damages incurred to any club equipment due to negligence and/or improper use. Absolutely no drugs allowed! Only fully paid paddlers will be allowed to participate in sanctioned or unsanctioned races. EXPECTATIONS: Help out when any type of work is being done. Remember we are a team, you should never find yourself standing around or watching while others are doing something. Be mindful. We are one team, one family. Take care of each other, and help with the keiki and kupuna's as much as possible. Participation in club fundraisers are required. There will be a sign up sheet. Waimānalo Regatta is mandatory for all members/paddlers. At least one parent/guardian to accompany child(ren), and we strongly encourage families to help as well. Cleaning our areas at the Waimānalo Canoe Club Halau, Kaiona Beach, and at all race sites before we leave is a must.  Be at practice ready to go, on time, every time. If you can’t make it or might be late, let your coach know, give them a call or leave a message. Be considerate of others. All members will participate in learning Hawaiian Culture practices, as well as various chants, and songs. No one is allowed to leave the races (before or after their events) without notifying the coach. Be sure your coach/designated person knows where you are at all times. Stay healthy; always bring a jacket, water bottle, towel and extra clothes. ALL registration paperwork and dues must be received before June 1st. BASIC CARE OF EQUIPMENT: Please stand your paddle up against something and never leave it lying on the ground. Your paddle (or WCC paddles) are an extension of your body, treat it with respect, take care of it, do not dig the edge of your paddle in the sand or use it as a shovel etc.  Before any canoe enters the water all paddlers should ensure the canoe has at least two bailers. Always be sure the canoes are on tires or cradles while on the beach or on land. No sitting on the canoes while on land.  No stepping over the wa'a (canoe), please walk around. That includes people, paddles, ‘iako and ‘ama, etc. When carrying any canoes, do NOT lift them by the seat. Grab the pepeiao (cleat) that is part of the hull. INTER-ISLAND TRAVEL: *** Team traveling happens every other year, and is an earned opportunity, not a given. Paddlers will be determined by Head Coach
