And don't be embarrassed about not knowing how to swim. It just means you weren't raised around water. No biggie. Hawaiians probably don't know how to snow ski.

I have several PFD's for different watercraft.. kayak, jet ski and normal boating.. recommend getting specifics as they can save you money but also be way more comfy. Like my kayak PFD is super well designed, very comfortable, high quality. My jet ski PFD is vastly different, it has a full back, holds my head up above the water if I get knocked out and my general boating one simply inflates if I hit water, otherwise its super low profile.
I know spending a lot on PFD's seems stupid but when you're living on a shoreline, you see the stupid shit people do and how it ends for them.. also, I have cheap Walmart PFD's for guest, they work perfectly fine so this isn't a comment to say you shouldn't get this but rather if you're new to all of this, perhaps invest in a specific vest to what you're doing.
Recommended high end brands:
Astral (great general PFD with pockets)
NRS (great pro sport fishing kayak PFD)
Onyx (great kayak general PFD)
Top overal PFD: NRS Odyssey
Its the best PFD brand IMO, has a lot of safety areas for knife, whistle, emergency texting / ping, etc but also lots of pockets. Super comfy, purely premium. Cost about $140 so not top end price but top end features.
