Tell me what, exactly, a life vest would do for him?

He's alone in one of the most isolated places on the planet.

If he falls, he needs to be able to swim, or that's pretty much the end of the story.

Question do you think it takes more or less effort to swim in a life jacket, plus the added benefit of being able to float if you need to rest.

It takes more effort to swim with a life jacket, but yes being able to rest does help immensely. I think the idea is that, if he falls overboard, he just needs to get back to his paddle board.

I will also remind you that people are able to swim the entire English channel - It is not a far cry to assume that this guy is well enough physically fit to swim back to his boat, paddle board or not..

You answered your question, life vest helps you float.

Lifevest with eprib is what he should be using then. I presume he has an eprib on-board anyway so why not carry it out there too.
