With summer just around the corner, outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds are anticipating a full season of fun under the sun. Since many outdoor activities take place on waterways in summertime, it is never too early to start practicing smart water safety by getting yourself and your family a good PFD, or personal flotation device. While you may think that PFDs are just for kids or whale watching tours, virtually any activity that involves water is appropriate for a PFD. Here are just a few options from SunnySports’ wide selection of PFDs for tiny tots and grown adults alike.
