HOW TO : wear a life vest !!!
The news is fresh: you have to wear a PFD on your SUP in USA now (not on the surf area but everywhere else).
That’s a good decision because you never know what can happen on your SUP so please, wear a life vest, a PFD.
It is really helpfull in many kinds of conditions, even in waves.
At GONG, we us it since a long time. There are few reasons about that:
– When you ride on shitty waves where it is sometime difficult to be seen by friends when you fall down, you life can save you.
– When you do cruisings with beginners, if you have a problem like a heart attack or something, you will give them more chance to save you.
– You spend less time in the white water area. Because you can catch your board faster than without wearing a life vest, you can stand up faster on your board.
– A life vest is really really warm, so you can wear just it or a thin wetsuit instead of a big wetsuit.
– When you ride fast waves, the life vest protects you of impacts in the water when you fall, and that gives you more energy to fell good under the water.
So, there is no reason to not wear a PFD. Try them, found the best one, and keep you rides safes. SUPer : Patrice Guénolé on a GONG Gear.
