Oh man, am I really supposed to feel safer in that than my sea kayak??
The site says surfing a sea kayak must be unsafe, because people who do
always wear helmets, and I'm thinkin' "why doesn't that guy have one on?"
Standing INSIDE a cockpit in a wave, sure no chance of hitting your head in
that scenario. I guess if you stay inside the one foot shore break, at least
your unconscious body probably won't float too far away! And I like the way
they cut the video just as he jumps out on the wrong side of his kayak.
Guess they didn't want to show the one foot wave taking him out!!!
