life vest for surfing opinions

[Flee27]

My daughter (14 years old) wants a new life vest for Christmas. Which ones do you all recommend. She would like one that has the least "lifejacket" feel as possible.

Thanks

It's going to depend on her build. My wife is short wasted and does have some curves, so she went with the Ronix Daydream. My wife also likes the USCG vests that have great floatation because it's just easier on her to have good buoyancy when starting on the surf board.

Ronix also came out with the One Capella series that are actually vests designed as a cylinder shape (instead of something that's made to fold flat). They seem to be more suited to people with more of a boy shape...

I'm the only one in my family that rides with a non-USCG comp vest.

My wife did win a Liquid Force z-cardigan comp vest at an auction, but she didn't end up liking the lack of buoyancy and doesn't use it anymore. It's light and reversible. I've used it a few times. It feels like you have nothing on. It has a little less float than my Ronix One comp vest.

Isn't she kind of short even when she's not wasted?

I tell her that she's "Fun-Sized"
