Im pretty sure they all require CGA vests, some of the guys working the parks just aren't as strict on it. I'm sure they could get in alot of trouble if someone drown because they weren't wearing a CGA vest

TECHNOLOGY - take advantage!

Every day companies are manufacturing CGA vests that are more and more slim fitting.

Liquid Force and Hyperlite are two companies that I can immediately think of.

My friend bought an LF side entry CGA vest that is super slim, this season.

The bulky vest excuse just doesn't fly with me.

Your simple response reveals your simple mind.
I would expect nothing less from you.

I hope they don't ever ban you from this site, you provide a lot of great (although insanely kooky) entertainment.

At least you've got that going for you.

W, Seriously? If you're going to be a grammar police don't make a big deal out of it. If you want me to be honest, yes, it sort of bothers me how crappy people are at grammar on the internet. But it's pretty key to understand that it's your problem if you don't like it. His point was communicated just fine with imperfect grammar. So please get the fück off your high horse. Also, I do understand why you're so insistent on CGA vests, but there's no use pushing it on others. If you really want people to heed your advice I recommend communicating it differently.
