Hello

I'm seeking advice on body armour.

I seem to tear intercostal muscles on a regular basis when I get trashed - used to be hitting the boom but now its even just hitting the water at speed. Did an over-the-handlebars on my SUP a week ago and did it again. Fed up with being off the water for 5 weeks.... again.

Anyway, I have tried those soft body protection type jackets/harnesses that people like Neil Pryde made for kite surfers etc - not up to it.

I was wondering if anybody has experience with motorcycle or other chest/body armour? Would that work in the water and still be managable? Any other ideas?
