As a professional surfer I had high hopes for this. However, there are much-needed modifications to make this five-star hotel. The hose is too long for one. If you're doing this for people who are actually avid big wave surfers, the snorkel should be something that can slip over the shoulder strap and stay out of the way while surfing. The loose one should fit in the drinking portion of the hose but doesn't fit at all no matter how hard I try. I think it was a mismatch and their production company must have made it too small for it to actually work. You're stuck if you use a rubber mouthpiece to drink. Bad, especially if you have sensitive teeth. Now let's talk about how it fits. The idea is good but it goes under the boobs and if you are a woman it can be very uncomfortable. Love the fact that this bag is smaller than most Camel backpacks I've used while surfing the waves. I also like that it is made out of wetsuit material. However, unless you're doing it for a child, you really don't need such a crude velcro. The plastic Velcro straps used to adjust the shoulders sit right on top of the humerus and push them in, which isn't very comfortable. A slight redesign would allow them to be positioned either on the chest or further on the shoulders. If you look at most of the pictures on the website, the dolphin pod is shown without much water. When you fill it all the way up, it fits quite differently and the straps start to unravel and twist. So I made my own modifications and I'll try that. I wish the manufacturers would change just a few things and this was a better surf camel set. However, I think they got their friends and pretty girls to just tell them it's awesome instead of sending it somewhere like Hawaii where the waves are bigger and stronger and getting it from some of these real pro surfers to be checked. POTENTIAL to be the best!
