To me, the entire process has to be completed from shore in order to call it shore caught....cast-hook-battle-land.
I've seen instances where folks will call a kayak fish a shore fish and it just doesn't hold water with me. I've also seen people hook fish in kayaks, land on shore, beach the fish, then call it surf caught. It gives true surf fishing a bad name.
Kayak= boat without a motor, plain and simple.
Skishing= modified form of boat fishing too and not surf fishing in its traditional form. By this I mean drifting through the water in a wetstuit like a "human boat."
Using a wetsuit to access distant ground is surf fishing provided you do everything(cast-hook-battle-land) from a fixed position once you start fishing.
