I'm trying to get a message to Jeff. On UA-cam there's a video called working 007 mini scuba tank... In the video the fellow changes a mini CO2 cartridge into an oxygen filled high pressure tank.?? I was thinking that would be very beneficial because if you were gasping for your last breath of air before you die. You would be able to suck the air out of your own vest. What do you real life heroes think of that?? I'm just a speculator spectator. 8 ft and under kind of guy.
Thanks for pointing that out. He doesn’t really have trouble breathing. It’s just that an inflation vest, once inflated is suddenly really tight. You can still breath fine, it’s just like your getting a really tight hug out of nowhere. Would you like to try surfing with it?
@@bigwavesurfing Any time, I Love helping. After seeing António Laureano it really got me thinking about the necessity of a product like this. That sounds like a Good Opportunity! I currently live near Satellite Beach FL.
Older comment to respond to, but we breathe from the diaphragm lower in the torso, as long as the stomach can distend the lungs can draw air even if the upper chest is constricted
Hell ya Jeff is a legend and awesome guy.
Very good advice...a million dollar idea, for sure...
Ill get this vest for reef fishing, picking Ophi and sea urchin
There’s actually an inflatable rashguard that is probably more suitable than this vest as that one has more buoyancy.
Does this make sure one floats face facing the sky and above the water?
Love it!!!
What a cool dude….
Why not try an untechy PBA such as seakayakers have worn for decades?
Cause those will be ripped of in no time.
I had to research this because I had to make sure I wasn’t about to take someone else’s idea
So is this for paddling and towing?
It was for both. And kitesurfing as well
Where can I purchase one?

After the second inflate it sounded like he was having trouble breathing
