I switched from using my Salamander Pro system to a rescue vest too.
Northwater makes a nice short tow system for it that is either 12 or 17'
feet long (eyesight went long ago, now it's the memory).

This works great for a quick tow away from rocks or out of a surf zone. For
longer tows, I just clip a longer line to it. Works better than the waist
mounted systems.
