I have a wetsuit that I use for swimming and snorkeling (shorty) but I never haved used it for surfcasting. I was thinking about getting a full 5mm suit last year when they were on sale but decided against it. While there are some rocks I want to get out to, I tend to surf fish alone most of the time. (like 90% of the time) and figured it would be a death wish for me, so I passed on it.
As you all know, I am an old man now and probably could not pass the boy scout mile swim anymore as I did when I was 12yo. So, I figured I will stay on land with the waders and be safe.

I would like to try it though when someone is nearby, in the daylight.

I know wet suits provide some bouancy, but...do you have a pfd too?
