Won't have to work to hard and a board under you will definitely help.

I don't know much about that vest.. but i have a non coast guard approved vest, and when im riding behind a boat i dont like it.. when i fall i want to just float while I wait for the boat to get me… so I've been wearing an old approved vest.. and its fine.

texasT, its a great vest! i've got it and love it. I weigh 155 lbs and it floats me in the water just fine. I'd highly recommended it. I can hardly notice it when i'm riding too.

well on saturday i took it out for the first time and i loved it, although i found out that i couldn't get up on the damn wakeskate lmao.

it was my first time and i was awful. i was having huge problems just getting up... i need more practice i guess. by the time i was kindof figuring it out my hinds were completely exhausted and i couldn't even hold on to the damn rope. also i really only have experience kneeboarding so i still have quite a few basic mechanics to work out.

final verdict: TNT vest = awesome, my wakeskating skills = not awesome.
