Hello,
I'm looking to get a buoyancy vest for windsurfing. I have some sort of an older vest, but it's not attached to my harness and just tends to go up while I'm in the water while not really helping much.
My hope is that it will:
0. Attach to my harness.
1. Help with waterstarts in rough conditions (like today in Squamish) or with bigger sails.
2. Increase my chances if things go sideways
I've ruled out all kiteboarding-oriented impact vests because they're meant to serve a different purpose. That narrows it down to:
1. NP High Hook Elite https://www.npsurf.com/products/high-hook-elite-ce50?variant=1413415567387
2. Ion Booster X https://www.bigwinds.com/ion-18-flotation-vest-booster-x
Do you wear a vest while windsurfing? What kind? Could you recommend anything?
