I am looking for recomendations on a flotation vest to go with a Dakine Fusion seat harness and would like to find one with good flotation as I am kind of a sinker and would like to keep my head above water. Thanks, Wade

Thanks guys. Nat at Edge Kiteboarding also suggested a kayak vest. I did search for kayak and nothing came up so if anyone has suggestions or experiances I would love to hear them. However I did find discussions on wake board vests and I guess will start my research there. Wade

I just typed kayak life vest on Google and all sorts of stuff popped up.
This one looked pretty decent:
Decent Life Jacket

kayak vest are only good if your using a waist harness. Look to a wake vest. They float and have good impact protection.

One thing, make sure it has a strap at the bottom that can hook / attach to your harness. This will greatly help with the vest not rideing up.
