Why an Impact Vest Is Essential

“Stay safe and comfortable during impact or learning. Adding an impact vest to your gear will bring you to the next level faster.”

Impact vests offer:

✔ Protection From Hard Falls

Foiling and kiting crashes often involve chest, rib, and back impacts.

✔ Extra Buoyancy

Not as much as a life jacket, but enough to help you rest during recovery.

✔ Foil Strike Protection

Critical for wing and SUP foilers in shallow Florida waters.

✔ Harness Compatibility

Most vests are designed to pair with waist or seat harnesses.

✔ Confidence to Progress Faster

Riders push themselves more when they feel safe.
