Product Description and Principal Function(s)

‘mAirine’, is a safety wetsuit top that is specifically designed for tow-in, big wave surfing. mAirine’s safety features target the extreme conditions found in the big wave surfing arena. The small air canister located on the back and accompanying mouth piece located on wrist, is designed for self rescue in a situation where the surfer is held underwater for a critical period of time. The inflation bladder is another key feature on the safety vest and is designed for an emergency situation when the surfer becomes unconscious underwater. A manual spring loaded timer is used to trigger the inflation bladder.

Why does the product represent design excellence and why do you believe it deserves an Australian Design Award?
