I'm looking for a discreet PFD for surf sup and came across The Swim It PFD online.

www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/09/the-swim-it-in-depth-review.html

I would be using it in the surf on days when it is a bit bigger and there is a possibility of leg rope failure.

Just seeing if anyone here has any experience with this PFD or can recommend something better?

maybe you would be better off looking at some of the impact vests......they give you a bit of extra float
