I give them lots of credit. They may be just a bit nuts
to be doing that, but I do give them credit .

I know you already prefaced that the use of a vessel makes it something other than surf fishing, but if one were to replace the wetsuit and fins with a kayak and paddle in the above quote, it would be interchangeable. The kayak would just be keeping you higher up in the water to facilitate casting. That's why I believe the buoyancy of the wetsuit and the fins are an extra technological edge. You use them to propel yourself out to the fish. We'll just have to agree to disagree
