I just recieved the Riptide Zone that I had bought for my son, but I may wind up ordering me one too if I like it in the water nearly as much as I do out of the water.

FYI,... I called ST and asked them about the two Riptide models that they carry. There is a difference between the Orange Riptide and the Riptide zone "black" one. The orange Riptide is a jacket style and the zone is a back inflate model.
