FlatWaiver

For surf coaches, lesson desks and seasonal schools

Surf School Waiver Software for Lessons and Camps

Let students and guardians complete your reviewed form before wetsuits, boards and the beach briefing need their attention. Share the link with lesson instructions and give unfinished arrivals a signing option at your desk.

Unlimited waivers for $19/month.

No credit card required. Use the waiver you already have.

Give the beach briefing your students’ attention

A beginner lesson meets near the beach while instructors sort wetsuits and boards and students arrive from different directions. Sending the waiver link beforehand lets students read on a comfortable device instead of handling paperwork with sandy hands just before the briefing.

From your existing document to a signed record

  1. 1. Prepare and review

    Upload your existing waiver PDF or enter your own text. Compare the converted draft against the original, correct any issues and check the signing fields before publishing.

  2. 2. Share the published form

    Copy the signing link into your own messages, display its QR code or open kiosk mode on your tablet. Visitors read and sign online; signing requires an internet connection.

  3. 3. Retrieve the record

    Search signed records by name or email and filter by date or waiver. Open the record and download its stored signed PDF when your team needs a copy.

Make youth consent a pre-arrival task

Enable minors for children’s lessons and send the link to parents or guardians. The form collects participant details with the adult’s name, relationship and signature.

Ask families to complete it before the meet-up. Instructors still follow your policy for checking adult authority and dealing with missing consent.

Keep signing out of the surf zone

Place the QR code at a staffed lesson desk where students can pause to read. A kiosk tablet serves students without a suitable phone and resets after a completed signature.

Test connectivity at the actual meeting location. Encourage advance signing when lessons start somewhere with unreliable internet service.

Review the form when programs change

A taster lesson, multi-day course and surf camp may need different documents. Use reviewed wording for each activity and name templates clearly so instructors distribute the correct link.

Publish revised wording as a new version for the next season. Earlier lesson records keep their signed wording and stored PDF.

Parent signatures before a children?s lesson

Enable minors and send the published link to the responsible adult. Your school determines any additional camp permissions.

An earlier season?s signed document

Search by participant name or email and date or waiver. The stored PDF retains the version signed during that lesson.

Lesson scheduling and automatic booking delivery

You share FlatWaiver links in your existing messages. It does not automatically schedule lessons or attach completed waivers to a booking record.

Rehearse a lesson with a late arrival

Start with your reviewed document and sample participants. Test the handoff your team will use before sharing the signing link with visitors.

  1. 1

    Prepare the reviewed lesson document and, if needed, a separate camp template. Check that instructors can recognize and distribute the correct published link.

  2. 2

    Send the link to an adult student and to a teammate testing guardian signing for a young learner. Review both completed PDFs.

  3. 3

    Use a phone and kiosk tablet at the meeting point to test connectivity. Decide who assists a student still signing while instructors prepare equipment.

  4. 4

    Search the sample records before the group leaves for the beach. Then rehearse the separate handoff to suitability checks and the water-safety briefing.

14 days to test your own waiver. No credit card required.

Preserve what each visitor signed

Each signed waiver is tied to the exact published template version used at signing. Updating your wording creates a new version without replacing earlier agreements. Retrieve the stored signed PDF with its signing details and timestamps rather than reconstructing it from today’s template.

Use name or email search and date or waiver filters for record retrieval. CSV record exports and signed PDF exports support your own administrative workflow.

Surf schools waiver questions

Does signing replace water-safety checks?

No. Coaches remain responsible for suitability, conditions, supervision and briefings. FlatWaiver does not evaluate swimming ability or weather.

Can parents sign before a children’s camp?

Yes. Enable minors and share the link with the responsible adult. Your school determines the consent wording and additional camp permissions.

Is the link added to lesson confirmations automatically?

You add it to the messages or confirmations you already send. FlatWaiver does not promise automatic booking integration or scheduling.

Can staff find last season’s form?

Authorized staff can search by name or email and filter by date or waiver, then download the stored PDF. Later edits do not overwrite it.
