PFD is ok but how do I get the drugs those people are on? The lack of balance and coordination looks like a small price to pay for the sheer euphoria they are experiencing.

I was half way through the vid, trying to read the sub titles and couldn't make sense of it before I realized they were speaking in English

I think its a great idea, would have it uses, might be good for a long swim for when your arm gets tired from the weight of it on your wrist, would be perfect if we breathed through our fingers

The French brought out something like this in the 70's , I remember playing with one when I was a kid around the time of the ping pong ball in the snorkel. This thing might work if was tied around your neck. Probably better on your ankle so you can float on your back and have use of both arms. Gets a 1 out of 10 from me.

interesting with the ongoing issues with things like this in the clubby / surf sports world. I guess the issue is, what happens if you're not concious?

Just wondering if it would get ripped off your arm when getting smashed by the waves whitewash.
Good for rock fishing & fishing in general. Would serve that purpose better.
But hey better than nothing.

That looks like a really REALLY bad design. A PFD on your wrist? That doesn't seem like a very good idea at all.

I'm glad that people are throwing around different ideas for PDF's, but that looks pretty terrible.


The only reason I would want a PDF is to save my ass if I get knocked out, and I don't see how that thing in the video is gonna help me.

I struggle to blow up whoopee cushions, trying to create an opening to blow thru is very difficult. The self inflating Kingii is perfect for my needs when I have to deploy a fast fart on my friends.

Not sure why the promo shows people using it in water - more bubbles than sound.

Only draw back is when your hand gets stuck under your mates large ass....it's a bit hard to explain to his wife.

8 stars from me!

It sounds like a scene out of a crappy murder cop show. Find a red ball floating in the pond. Pull it out and there's a dead guy hanging under it.
