Essential Fit Guide

"IF IT ZIPS, IT FITS"

All vests must fit snug like a compression shirt. Neoprene is designed to expand when wet for a custom "wet-fit."

Impact Vests (NCGA) 10-15% Stretch

Will contour significantly after a few sessions.

CURRENT SELECTION Life Jackets (CGA) 8-10% Stretch

Less expansion due to thicker foam.

The Golden Rule:
If your vest zips up effortlessly on land, it is likely too big. A loose vest will ride up past your ears once you hit the water.

Pro Tip: Every brand cuts their vests differently. Please review the specific size chart and fit notes above for this model.

Product Overview

Cosmic Performance. Anatomical Precision.
The 2026 Ronix Supernova CGA is engineered for the high-performance female athlete who refuses to compromise on mobility. Utilizing Nature's Neoprene—a limestone-based, eco-friendly material—and the ultra-soft Silk Skin shell, this vest provides a premium, second-skin feel. The breakthrough feature is the 2-to-1 Foam ratio: featuring 2" of flotation in the chest to meet strict safety standards, but tapering to just 1" at the waist to allow for the core-hinging mobility needed for technical grabs. Whether you are throwing technical spins on a wakeboard, carving sunset lines while wakesurfing, or navigating a slalom course on waterskis, the Supernova provides a legal, secure, and unrestricted ride.

The Capella 3.0 Cylindrical Advantage
To eliminate the "side-gapping" and bulky feel of traditional "flat" life jackets, the Supernova utilizes Cylindrical Construction. This 360-degree wrap-around design ensures the vest stays suctioned to your core, providing the predictable center of gravity essential for maintaining flight while wakefoiling. With Cushion Foam for an ultra-soft fit and a Standard/Long Torso profile to prevent ride-up, the Supernova offers a custom-tailored experience that supports your progression in every set.

CGA vs Impact Vest — What is the difference?

Note: Some impact vests, like the Ronix Vader, look like a CGA vest with 3 points of contact (zipper + buckles) but are in fact Impact Vests. Always verify the safety rating before purchasing.

FAQ'S: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I’m a beginner—will this actually keep my head above water or am I going to sink? +
This is a full Coast Guard Approved (CGA) life jacket, not a "comp vest." It is specifically designed with enough foam to float you comfortably even if you’re tired or can't swim well. It’s the safest "insurance policy" you can wear while wakeboarding or surfing.
Is this vest worth the $180+ price tag compared to a $60 nylon one? +
The difference is Nature's Neoprene. Cheap nylon vests are stiff, scratchy, and don't stretch. The Supernova uses a limestone-based neoprene that feels like a yoga mat—it's soft, moves with your body, and won't give you "rash burn" under your arms. If you ride more than once a month, your skin will thank you for the upgrade.
Most life jackets make me look like a "fridge" in photos—is this one any slimmer? +
Because it uses 2-to-1 Foam, Ronix moved the "bulk" to your chest and thinned the stomach area down to just 1 inch. This gives you a much more tapered silhouette than a standard life jacket. It’s as close as you can get to the look of a slim competition vest while still staying legal.
Will this ride up and hit me in the chin when I fall or jump in? +
That "ride-up" usually happens because vests are flat. The Supernova is Cylindrical, meaning it’s built round to wrap around your ribs. If you get the size right (it should feel very snug when dry), it suctions to your waist and stays put, even when you're floating in the water.
Do I really need to buy a "Women's" vest, or can I just wear a Men's Small? +
Men’s vests are built like boxes; they don't account for a woman’s chest or a narrower waist. The Supernova has a Women's Tailored Fit that is narrower at the shoulders and has more room in the bust. It prevents that awkward "gapping" at the armholes that you get when wearing a guy's vest.
