Terms and Conditions

Hold Harmless Agreement: This release bars your rights to recover damages in the case of an accident injuring you or your property. 

In applying to the Folly Beach Wahine Classic (FBWC) contest, I promise to inspect the contest site and assure myself the area is safe for surfing. I further agree that I will not surf in the contest unless I am satisfied that the area and conditions are safe for surfing purposes. In exchange for the FBWC accepting my entry fee and entry form, I voluntarily agree to assume all risks incident to the sport of surfing. I fully understand and comprehend the dangers of surfing created by sharp edges and fins along with natural buoyancy of a surfboard when they are acted upon by the powerful forces of the ocean and the ocean waves. With full knowledge, comprehension, and understanding of these dangers, I voluntarily accept and assume all risks involved in the sport of competitive surfing. I will further note existing weather conditions and do agree that I voluntarily assume all risks arising from conditions related to the use of the contest site by myself and others. I also give my consent to the FBWC and its associates to photograph, film, and/or videotape and then use, reproduce, and publish the images of me at the event for commercial purposes. In consideration of your acceptance of my entry, I intend to be legally bound, hereby, for myself, my heirs, executors and administrators, hold harmless and release and forever discharge the Folly Beach Wahine Classic, its directors, the City of Folly Beach, SC, Charleston County, SC, the State of SC, all national and local sponsors, other competitors, and any official connected with this competition, from all liabilities for injuries and damages whatsoever arising from my presence or participation in the above-described competition and associated events and do hereby grant such release as described herein. I acknowledge that I have read and fully understand all of the above. 

For Contestants under the age of 18, I hereby certify that I am the parent or guardian of the surfer named above, and do hereby give my permission without reservation and with full understanding and comprehension of the foregoing agreement to hold the aforementioned organization/contest and governmental agencies harmless any and all liabilities including any such injuries which are alleged to have occurred as a result of negligent failure of Folly Beach Wahine Classic officials, judges and directors to properly supervise contestants in the course of competition and any associated events.
