Sturdy enough for wakeboarding/surfing? How safe is the lanyard? I know it doesn't float, but if it's sturdy I probably won't drop it.

I use it for SUP, kayaking, surfing and offshore fishing. It's durable, lanyard is somewhat adequate, not bullet proof. Put a "floaty back" on the camera.

Oh yah. It catches the wind immediately. It's very light, and pretty tough, so the flag won't fall apart in nice weather. I wouldn't keep it out in inclement weather, however. That's when I'd fly the old sturdy flag. Take care.

Its pretty light for a aluminum paddle. The head of the paddle however is slightly flexible so I would not suggest using it for any kind of hard paddling such as surfing or racing. Its a good paddle for flat water cruising for the price however!

I carry a longboard with a short board on top does great. The straps are awesome. The straps are long enough for more but I do not know how scary it would get at 80mph.

I feel like it would be flexible enough to surf in...I didn't feel particularly restricted while swimming or snorkeling. I also wore the suit all day on the boat and didn't have any problems. It was a great buy!

It's big enough to fit behind your head. I wouldn't suggest using it as a floaty.

Grip is fine. I haven't tried picking up any small smooth objects like an iphone, but then who would under water. I can grip the equipment without any issues. And things like shells are easy to pick up. I think they should be durable since they are thick. So issues so far.

I would probably keep it. As long as you can fasten it. Its partially neoprene so should have a snug fit - otherwise it will rise up (literally float up) when you are in the water.

Water related sports? absolutely. I took mine SCUBA diving, where with a snappy coil connects it to my BC. Surfing? I don't surf so I'm not sure. I suppose that you'd want it tethered to yourself somehow so in case you drop it, you'll still have it. GoPro provides other mounts that can attach directly to your board or to your head.

Yes, it will keep you afloat, but it is probably safer to wear a certified life jacket. I just wear mine in a local swimming pool. The belt fits right under your chest so I'm not sure how that would hit you when you are sitting in a kayak.

The model I bought is water resistant. I proved on day after retrieving it out of San Francisco Bay. (btw, it floats too-)

I certainly seems waterproof. I'm not sure if it's heavy enough not to float up though.

I haven't dropped mine, but the case deff feels durable and sturdy. You should be safe against minor drops.

I've had friends who are way heavier ride it just fine. The only problem is the board looks like it's caving in, but obviously never breaks. Enjoy!

I haven't dropped it. it is not water resistant. it has no hook or carabineer. I would recommend not getting it wet or dropping it. I use it outdoors on the water but I think it would stop working if it went into the water. I think it would survive a drop but not sure.

I swim about 2 hours a day 7 days a week and I need something that is sturdy and I want to drag and drop wma files from my computer, does this stay charged good, what is the sound quality, and has it held up over time?

It will keep you afloat if kept full. But its not as sturdy as a life vest. So if youre new to open water, a life jacket would be safer. Wouldnt recommend it for kayaking on rocky rivers. Sharp rocks could puncture the inflated vest. Great for snorkeling.
