available natural conditions. This may include SUP, surf skate, mountain bike... etc. We will adjust the schedule of the surf sessions to get the most out of the available conditions.

Remember it is in the nature of the sport, sometimes the ocean is on your side and sometimes it is not.

ENVIRONMENTAL DANGERS
Surf spots are often in natural environments that we do not control. Although we thoroughly risk asses any surf spot we visit, caution must be taken at all times. CTCS cannot be held responsible for unforeseen dangers (not presented normally and not recorded in the risk assessments) like for example, a wild animal attack, tsunamis, earthquakes etc.

OUR LIABILITY
(i) Our obligations are limited to providing the coaching and these and any service or facility included in the trip schedule, are to take reasonable skill and care to arrange for the provision of such services and facilities and, where we are actually providing the service or facility, to provide them and to do so with reasonable skill and care.
If you wish to make any claim you must show that reasonable skill and care has not been used . Standards of, for example, safety, hygiene and quality vary throughout the transport and destinations that your trip may involve. Sometimes these standards will be lower than those which would be expected to be found in the UK or elsewhere in Europe.
The services and facilities included in your trip will be deemed to be provided with reasonable skill and care if they comply with any local regulations which apply or, if there are no applicable local regulations, if they are reasonable when compared to the local standards and customs. Coast to Coast Spain takes no responsibility for any extra costs the customer may face from cancellation of a surf trip subject to external factors out with Coast to Coast Spain's control. Examples of this could be ferries/ flights/ trains being cancelled, pollution incidents, pandemics, war or terrorism. This list is not exclusive.

ACCOMMODATION
Coast to Coast Spain does not own any of the accommodation we stay in. We liaise with the accommodation provider on your behalf and may be able to help you with any complaint, however we are not liable for accommodation related issues.  Any liability claim you may have would have to be pursued with the accommodation provider. The customer agrees to compensate for any loss of or damage to the building, furniture and contents of the house as a result of improper use. Damage to the house and its contents must be reported immediately to CTCS. 
 

SURF SESSIONS PARTICIPATION
The trips organised by Coast to Coast Spain carry a degree of risk both to people and property, even if under proper 
supervision by qualified instructors. It is also a strenuous activity that requires those taking part to have a reasonable 
standard of swimming and fitness.
Our surf sessions carry moderate risk of minor cuts and bruises and a very small risk of more serious incident. However, all our instructors follow robust operational procedures to reduce these risks as far as possible without impeding the adventurous nature of the activity.
All customers participating in our activities must make the CTCS aware of any medical conditions, illnesses or allergies which might affect their ability to safely participate in the activities of the trip. 
You need to let us know, for example, if you are pregnant or suffering from a heart condition.
We also expect customers to follow instructions from our staff at all times for your own safety.
All customers must be able to swim 100m.
No customer should participate in our activities while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.                CTCS does not seek to limit or exclude any liability for personal injury or loss of life which may occur as a result of its own negligence or that of its employees, officers or agents however, CTCS assumes no liability in respect of personal injury, loss, damage, consequential loss or third party claims which occur through no fault of its own, its employees, officers or agents. All other liability or conditions implied by law are excluded to the fullest extent possible.

SAFETY
Coast to Coast Spain’s senior instructors will confirm, on a daily basis, if weather or sea conditions render it unsafe to go in the waves and their decision will be final. Although instructors will be caring for your sea safety, all taking part must be aware of rips/currents (how they work, what to do if caught in). Customers should also be aware of surf etiquette and the rules of surfing with other people (priority system, no drop ins).
If going in the sea outside the scheduled supervised surf sessions, you are responsible for your own well being in the surf and coastal zone.

EQUIPMENT
It is a condition of hire that customers agree to return equipment in a satisfactory undamaged condition with leashes 
coiled and wetsuits (when applicable) washed inside out.
Should any equipment be returned in a damaged condition, Coast to Coast Spain reserves the right to charge a fee to cover the cost of the repair. Any damage to or loss must be reported immediately and it is a condition of hire that the customer will be responsible for any damage or loss occurring. It is a condition of hire that customer agrees to compensate for any and all loss of or damage to the hired equipment including, if required, the replacement of the hired equipment.
