The Forward WIP is by far the best west I have ever used w. many pocket options and protections, and it provides an excellent freedom of movement. The MiniMotion does not need any presentation..
This is not a review of the Forward WIP 50N Impact Vest, or of the accessories I bought with it ("Impact Vest Spare Knife" and "Safety Mirror Whistle Kit"..), or of the MiniMotion GPS itself, but on how to make life easy for a GPS surfer..

My solution:
The MiniMotion is always mounted on the left shoulder strap and is never taken off,- it is even recharged mounted on the impact west.. This is possible due to the elastic GPS-strap.
Mounted on the shoulder strap the GPS will always have a clear view to the satellites..

When I first looked at the photo I thought you were wearing the charger as well plugged into some portable battery or something

Oh, I hope that my post isn't regarded as an April Fool's joke..
The "easy way" is to surf without the charger fixed on the shoulder strap!
Fortunately the battery of the MiniMotion can hold on for many hours but of course, if you are going to do an Atlantic crossing, a portable battery could come in handy!
