Do you people use buoyancy vest? (life jacket) .
Have checked out Big W and Kmart, they are either too big or too small for me. Besides, most of them are quite 'ugly'.![]()
Biggest issue with any PFD you get from BIG W and Kmart is they dont fit over your harness too well and it will drive you insane adjusting it all the time. If you dont wear a harness have a look at BCF or Rays Outdoors.
But to get a proper PFD for use with a harness check out any of the sponsors on Seabreeze. You will be paying the same amount for a proper one from them as you would from any of the supermarkets.
I bought a Neil Pride 2 years ago. They are made for windsurfing and cost about $120. I think it is false economy to get one from Big W etc as you will find it difficult to swim in it when you need to chase your board after falling off.
I am now looking at ebay. Do I choose the one that above the waist length (in order to work well with harness)? Thanks
