PHNX Boards are snurfers, built strong and tested under many conditions but nevertheless riding PHNX Boards, like participating in all snow sports on or off resort terrain, contains inherent risks including, but not limited to the risk of personal injury, including catastrophic injury, or death, or property damage, which may be caused by variations in terrain or weather conditions; or, surface or subsurface snow, ice, bare spots or areas of thin cover, moguls, ruts, bumps, or other persons; or rocks, forest growth, debris, branches, trees, roots, stumps; or other natural objects.  The Rip-Cord Binding/Brake System (tm) is designed to release the rider in a fall and stop the board safely under most circumstances, however depending on conditions and circumstances, it is possible that the rider could become tangled in the cord, struck by the board, or that the board not be stopped before striking the rider, another person, or an object.  It is your duty as a rider to become apprised of and understand the risks inherent in the sport of snurfing/snowboarding, which are set forth above, so that you make an informed decision of whether to participate notwithstanding the risks.  If you are not willing to assume all of these risks, including the risk of falling, scratching, gouging, or breaking the board, and abide by these duties, you must not participate in snurfing/snowboarding and should not ride a PHNX Board. Helmets and safety apparel are recommended for all riders.
