The PFD must also have buckle type fastening to front or side.(or approved style)

Back protection is mandatory for all classes and should include protection of the coccyx (area at base of spine)

Leg guards are mandatory for Sport, Spark and Runabout classes and should consist or upper thigh and hip as well as lower side leg protection. Below are some examples of approved leg protection but should you wish to use an alternative style, this must be approved by the JSRA Safety Officer.

While it is not a stipulation, gloves are advisable while on the water.

Goggles are now mandatory for the race starts; once out on the course, goggles may be removed if required but not advised.

Full leg coverage is required for both practice and racing within the JSRA Championship.
