So on July 4th my brother and I decided to get a couple of sets in at our family place on a public lake before it got overrun. At -35, I hit a stray roller between the ball and wake, ski popped out and I did a one-point on my side. It didn't seem like much at first, but got progressively worse over the course of the day and I ended up in the ER with convulsions and my BP at 180/108. After X=rays, urinalysis, an ultrasound, and CAT scan, the diagnosis was a severely bruised spleen and kidney (and, of course, ribs). I've been skiing in an O'Neill Boost, which has no padding on the sides, which had not seemed like a problem, until now. I was checking out my brother's Syndicate vest and admiring the padding and have considered a Camaro or Eagle. Any recommendations?
