Not sure how long some of you have been around the wake industry but I remember this day and being involved in the watersports industry for so long I have seen a number of people drown because of not wearing a vest. I have probably lost vests sales because I tell moms and dads the worst possible case of a non-cga vest(death because of drowning). If you are going to go out and huck some new tricks and risk the possibility of knocking yourself out a CGA can save your life. I'm not a non-cga hater just letting people know what is possible. Some riders really think that a non-cga vest will still save their life and that is not the case. A non-cga is not guaranteed to float you if you knock yourself out. When your wakesurfing or wakeboarding just keep it in mind.
