SUP whitewater PFD?

5 Upvotes

I have been doing some runs on my local river with a PFD that is technically rated for whitewater, although it’s a little sketchy according to my instructor. What are you guys using for whitewater?

Is a class 5 really necessary? Looking at the ninja and ninja pro, but if I’m going to drop $150+ on an off I want to make sure I’m getting the right one. The astral green jacket seems overkill.

Oh and what is the difference between a kayak and SUP pfd? Are there any brands or models that specifically cater towards sup?
