Is it okay to use a lifeline safety jacket to teach my buddies wakeboarding? The one I have is pretty old, but still holds up pretty well. I know it used to be expensive, got it from the previous boat owner. It float very well, but my concern is the slightly oversized shape. It doesn't fit as tight as the modern ones made for wakeboarding https://www.boatid.com/stearns/stearns-mens-v1-series-hydroprene-life-jacket-479859704.html
another alternative safety jacket is this one, that I found on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O8HSLTI/ref=s9_acsd_topr_hd_bw_b52VRZr_c_x_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-4&pf_rd_r=PDADCHQ95PTENQ8HYW7M&pf_rd_r=PDADCHQ95PTENQ8HYW7M&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=6878385c-d268-509c-a093-3c5dbbb7bc52&pf_rd_p=6878385c-d268-509c-a093-3c5dbbb7bc52&pf_rd_i=4617711011
