Knighthawk, squeezing stomach on surface

[WSU Coug]

I have been using my Knighthawk for the first few dives and have been a bit upset because when I am on the surface it seems to be squeezing my stomach, more so when I am on my back. Is that normal? Maybe I am tightening the shoulder straps too tight causing the cumber straps to sit higher. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks everyone!

It sounds like you might be tightening the shoulder straps too much OR when you get on the surface the buoyancy of it lifts the vest up. When you are on the surface do you get extra space between your shoulders and the strap or does it still fit snugly resting on your shoulders.
