What do you use, if anything, for flotation. I don't have a problem floating in salt water, but without the kite pulling up on me, it is harder to float in the fresh water. Are you guys using vests? If so, which ones? JeffT Since 07 Jul 2012 238 Posts Deep Southern Portland Stoked Mon Jul 01, 13 7:46 pm     I use the Pro Motion Kite Vest and love it. It fits the Dakine Pyro outline perfectly. It also stays tight and does not scoop water when body dragging. _________________ Jeff dhannf Since 29 Nov 2010 42 Posts   Mon Jul 01, 13 9:44 pm     Dakine surface vest, on it's second year and I would buy another. _________________ Thanks Dan ShiverMeTimbers Since 26 Feb 2013 381 Posts Gig Harbor Obsessed Mon Jul 01, 13 9:58 pm     Da Kine Surface vest. I'm new and its already saved my ribs after getting a little too aggressive with the kite! kochease Since 03 Jul 2008 760 Posts In Ft. Stevens, OR Opinionated Tue Jul 02, 13 9:21 am     I wear mystic d3o impact vest most the time. Saved my ribs many times over. In ocean I sometimes wear a kite specific float vest. Underwave, mystic and pro limit make good ones. _________________ *AIR PIRATES KITEBOARDING* F-One, Ocean Rodeo, Litewave, Liquid Force KITEBOARD LESSONS https://www.air-pirate.com *CALL: 503-791-7372 *        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
