A release may insulate your group from certain lawsuits associated with a kayaking trip - particularly you may be insulated from lawsuits predicated upon lack of knowledge of inherent risk associated with kayaking; in general, however, a waiver will not provide a defense for suits based on negligence. Although you should inform participants of the associated risks with kayaking and obtain a signed waiver, if you or your group are negligent in conducting an event, the waiver may not insulate you or your group from a lawsuit.
