I disagree. Almost all CGA watersports vests are Type III:
Type III - Flotation Aid
These life jackets are generally considered the most comfortable, with styles for different boating activities and sports. They are for use in calm water where there is good chance of fast rescue since they will generally not turn an unconscious person face-up. Flotation aids come in many sizes and styles. http://www.pfdma.org/choosing/types.aspx
I have never seen anyone wear a Type I or II device while skiing or boarding, which are the types that should turn you face up.
A comp vest should add bouyancy, but may not have enough to float you.
Then you have never been to the midwest
Still, I wont be caught using a USCGA any time soon. Most people for trick skiing still dont wear anything. A large majority have gone to rash guards.

I hear ya Iwndr. Until I met a Tige owner, I thought the company was french or something, kinda like a fruity Ski Nautique name. I pronounced it "Tiege", with a fruity accent. I gave them a serious look when I learned they were made in TX.

They used to be made in Merced, CA.
Until the gov't nickel'd and dime'd them to death and they fled the state.
