Terms and conditions

Last updated: August 2026

Scope

These terms govern booking and participation in the wakesurf, wakeboard and wakefoil sessions offered by Association Crans Wake, a non-profit association under articles 60 ff. of the Swiss Civil Code, seated in Crans-près-Céligny, departing from Port de Crans-près-Céligny.

The association pursues no commercial purpose: its resources are applied in full to its statutory purpose and to running the boat, and no profit is distributed to its members.

Signing up and sharing costs

Signing up for an outing is free and the association invoices nothing: no payment is taken on this site, before or after the outing. A sign-up becomes firm once we email confirmation, after checking the boat's availability and the weather.

The direct costs of an outing — fuel above all — are, where applicable, shared between the participants on board, directly among themselves. That sharing is their own arrangement and is neither a price nor remuneration of the association or the pilot.

Each participant brings their own gear (board, vest, wetsuit). The association neither rents nor sells equipment.

Cancellation by the participant

A participant may withdraw at any time and without giving a reason. As no money is paid to the association, none is owed or refunded. We simply ask to be told as early as possible, ideally more than 48 hours before departure: a seat freed early goes to another member, freed late it is lost for everyone.

Cancellation for weather

The decision to sail rests solely with the pilot. In case of strong wind, thunderstorms, fog or lake conditions incompatible with safety, we cancel on our own initiative and the outing is moved to a date that suits the participant. Rain alone is not grounds for cancellation.

Safety and participation

Riders must be able to swim. Buoyancy vests are compulsory during all riding, and helmets for wakefoil. The pilot may refuse or stop the participation of anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or whose behaviour compromises safety. Minors remain under the responsibility of an accompanying adult.

Lateness

The outing starts at the departure time stated on the confirmation. Lateness is deducted from time on the water, as the following slot cannot be moved.

Liability

Navigation and supervision comply with Swiss inland navigation regulations. Wakesurfing, wakeboarding and wakefoiling carry inherent risks which the participant acknowledges and accepts. Personal belongings brought on board remain the responsibility of their owner.

Personal data

Data collected when signing up (name, email, phone) is used solely to organise outings and run the association. It is neither sold nor passed to third parties. Access and deletion requests go to hello@cranswake.ch.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Swiss law. Place of jurisdiction is Crans-près-Céligny, canton of Vaud.
