I'm 40 yds out on the same rock in a wetsuit because it is more comfortable, surfcasting?
I don't use a wet suit when I fish, but do use waders and a dry top so I'm just posing questions.
If you don't have to swim to where you are going to fish, I think you can still call it surfcasting.

Emgred's answer hits it right on the head.

What are your thoughts ?

In your example, the boat/kayak would be considered transportation. Not much different than getting off a boat at Cuttyhunk or any other island not connected to the mainland or a spot that's unreachable by car or foot (getting around private property to a public spot). You would still end up surfcasting, right
?
