I voted no, I don't wear one while surf fishing. In the 40 years of my surf fishing did not wear one. I have enough stuff on as it is. I don't "push it" quite as hard as I use to either.
This past weekend I fell in off some rocks. I had my aquaskinz on and waders and wader belt. I have to say I was in the water for probably a minute or so but I was floating and I did not get water in my waders...at all! I hurt my knee but made it back ok and was able to press on to dawn.
I do wear a belt worn inflatable pfd on my boat all the time. It doesn't interfere with my fishing at all and I think it sets a good example for my kids.
I know on the automatic pfds you have to replace the bobbin once per season, but on the manual ones is there anything to replace annually?
