One of my all-time favorite places to be is out on the water off the coast of Florida, California and when I am really lucky you’ll find me in Hawaii. What all these spots have in common is lots and lots of water. That’s where I love to be. On top of the sea.
And as fate would have it, some of the most compelling floating gadgets and gear that you can bring along in the water are getting a test by the CyberGuy team off the coast. And while I’ll certainly wear a life vest when I’m tooling around alone at high speeds offshore, these items won’t need a flotation device since they are by nature designed to stay afloat.
