A well presented video
I have just bought a inflateable paddleboard so need a buoyancy aid. There are so many to choose from, but I think a flat fronted aid is better for paddleboarding, at least for a beginner, so it's easier to scramble back on to the board.
The Crewsaver jacket looks good, but the Typhoon has the crotch strap with is useful. Last year I hired a SUP and found that the jacket supplied would ride up under my chin. Yes, I can swim, but the buoyancy is really needed around the torso, not at thre chin.
Just a pity the Crewsaver is black .. really wanted a bright colour.
