In interest me (probably only me), but: Bullet Proof Vest: Stops Slugs Survival Vest: Helped me find slugs to eat. Fly Fishing Vest: Holds slugs to throw Life Vest: Helps a slug like me tread water longer (I am a survival swimmer. Comfortable, not overly confident and Cautious.)

I don't see how a vest would benefit a surfer - body or board and would in fact be a hindrance. I surf my sea kayak on occasion down and always wear a vest. It helps me keep my head above water so I can see the next wave as it breaks and pounds me back to shore. I also have one of the Type III CO2 inflatable vests that was given to me. It really keeps your head above water face up, unlike my Extrasport PFD which floats me maybe even face down, and the inflatable won't hinder your swimming or other movement. It is a good compromise if I am not un-conscience. Let your conscious be your guide. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Aug 20 2000 - 10:37:58 PDT
