Should "wetsuiting" be its own category of fishing

I'm just wondering what others think about wetsuit fishing and whether it should be in its own category of fishing sort of like, Kayaking, surfcasting, boating, etc.

I wonder if when the term 'surfcasting" was developed years ago, those fishing in the surf thought that it would extend beyond those with 2 feet on the ground Fishing from shore (or rocks nearby).

I have nothing against wetsuiting at all. In fact, I'm seriously considering one for 2009. I'm just curious to hear what others think about a type of fishing that allows others to venture out quite a bit further from shore and to avoid many of the same obstacles that "surfcasters from shore" experience.

For example, if I took a kayak or small boat 25-50-75 yards from shore in order to fish a couple of big rocks or island that I could not otherwise get to in my waders, I'm not sure if that is truly surfcasting. Afterall, in this example, the "surf" in "surfcasting" would be missing.

What are your thoughts ?
