This happend in my front yard. I can't imagine going in a kayak without a vest. The current thru the bridge rips at times and has flipped me and my son this past summer in our tandem. It hits you like a ton of bricks, your in calm sheltered water then all of a sudden you get hit with this screaming current. You better be pointing into it or your going over.

Currently I don't were a PFD while surf fishing. I do plan to get some SOS suspenders for next season or maybe one of those CO2 inflatable vests. Too many deaths. Each time I get knocked down I keep saying what if there was no bottom under my feet ?
