Back in March I had a bad experience kiting the coast. So I got one of these inflatable surf vests. I like it because it's comfortable. It doesn't mess with your harness. And it has a ton of float when activated. Way more than an impact vest. It's expensive but worth it to me. I've used it only once a few weeks ago. It was 8ft at 12sec. Never needed to activate it but having it on made for a stress free sesh.

I got mine from Dan at Ossies surf shop in Newport.
