   Ah, you've got to love broad unqualified sweeping statements such as 
these. As I tried to post a week or so back, but was apparently censored, the 
last time I went surfing here in Southern California there were probably a 
couple of hundred people in the water, mostly board surfers, but around 
twenty or so kayak and waveski surfers as well, and I did not see a single 
pfd on the water! I guess every surfer in California is "a bloody idiot."
