PRAIA DO NORTE UP VEST, POWERED BY BLUE SOUP
"Praia do Norte ‘UP Vest’, powered by Blue Soup" is the new inflatable surf safety vest brought to you by Praia do Norte® and Blue Soup® designed for the safety of big wave surfers and those taking part in other water sports in the giant waves of Nazaré.
Praia Do Norte has worked closely with the Blue Soup Equipment Company in producing an important surf safety product. The Praia Do Norte ‘UP Vest’ is manufactured in the UK, the inflation system has two points of activation that are operated by pulling tabs located high on the chest should the wearer get into difficulties in the water. There is also a purge system that releases the buoyancy by pulling on a tab located on the right hip, this also acts as an over pressure release valve. The vests key feature is to get the wearer to the surface of the water as quickly as possible and in the head back position.
The outer vest is made from a 4 way stretch material that was originally designed for full contact sports such as rugby or American football and is super tough, super light and doesn’t hold water. The Up Vest is secured around the waist by an adjustable quick release belt. The Praia Do Norte UP Vest comes with a year’s warrantee and it is recommended that the UP Vest is serviced at the end of every season and further details including available sizes can be found on our website or in our Nazare outlets.
The Praia Do Norte UP Vest does not guarantee the wearers safety and the wearer should only surf within his or hers capabilities, the product is only intended as a floatation aid should the wearer get into difficulties and it is worn entirely at the wearers own risk.
Praia Do Norte will be launching the Praia Do Norte UP Vest in time for the big wave season and the UP Vest will be available to purchase from next month for pre-order. For more information please visit our Praia do Norte Store (Centro Cultural da Nazaré building), Forte de São Miguel Arcanjo or visit our website.
Its important to note that the wearer should take all precautions and take into consideration all surf and weather conditions before entering the water, to surf Nazare’s giant waves takes experience and knowledge and should only be undertaken by the most experienced of big wave surfers.
