The mAIRine is a wetsuit top that provides two key safety features. The first feature is an automatic inflation bladder which uses a manual spring loaded timer that can tell when someone is under water for an extended amount of time. This is important if a surfer were to become unconscious during a big spill. The second safety feature is a small air conister on the back which is connected to a mouthpiece located on the wrist. If the loss of oxygen occurs, air can be accessed for a generous amount of time.
I love this idea! Throughout all sports, safety technology has been increasingly getting stronger. However, none of this technology has been tapped into by the surfing community. Surfing can be very dangerous, and this simple wetsuit vest could save thousands. I think this is a brilliant idea and I wouldn’t be surprised if you see this design take off. Imagine the waves people would be willing to surf if they knew they had the safety equipment necessary.
