pfd - what to buy?
This question is for those of you who use pfd's while kiteboarding, probably mostly the freshwater crowd - sinkers ;-) . What do you guys use that
works with a seat harness? I'm thinking that I'll probably try to find something that will fit above my harness, unless you guys advise to get a vest
that fits over the top my harness.

I wear a kayak vest. Totally adjustable, with a high flotation rating. Also they stay up and away from your harness and don't crowd your waist. And
to top it off, they leave your arms totally free since they are made for paddling.

Yep, I use a kayak vest, too. I happened to already have one and it turned out be pretty much perfect for kiting! And as a bonus it'll keep you
surprisingly warm.:D
