The Surfers Recovery Vest

Developed with a grant from the DoD Navy SEALS, the Programmable Submersible Activator (PSA) will provide the engine to transport injured or unconscious surfers to the surface in rescue position.

The Surfers Recovery Vest (SRV) is the first automatic inflating vest to guard against hold downs while injured or unconscious.

Designed with input from the nation's best big wave riders, the SRV features the following:

1. Automatic inflation when users exceed their self-set maximum time under the water.
2. Manually inflates to produce a minimum lift at 30 feet of 35 pounds.
3. Streamlined and light weight.
4. Easy access to the manual inflation pull.
5. Designed to provide maximal contact with the board.
6. At just 4 pounds, the back-centered inflation mechanism provides for easy balance.
7. A Rip Cord allows the user to jettison the entire mechanism if caught in the surf line while inflated.
8. Heavy duty, but light design cannot be dislodged even in the heaviest surf.
