Paddlewisers,

I just want everyone to know that this Southern California sea kayaker who 
also surf kayaks always wears of PFD and helmet in the surf.  Other paddlers 
in the surf can do whatever they want, but I just feel better having this 
safety gear on.  On my one and only swim, which was in 8 foot surf, I was 
glad to have the PFD on.

Scott, who doesn't always wear a PFD, is a friend of mine, and we 
occasionally paddle together.  I think that like me, his tone is sometimes 
misinterpreted on this list.  I don't believe he means any harm to anyone.  
He just has fervor for the PFD issue and enjoys an occasional hot debate.
