Vests & protection
Impact vests and buoyancy aids. An impact vest absorbs the hit from a failed landing and adds slight flotation while leaving your arms and torso free to move — the standard choice for kitesurfing and wingfoiling. Certified buoyancy aids float you properly and are the right call for SUP touring, open water and anyone still building confidence in the water. Worldwide shipping.
