Without a doubt, luds
Smartest thing I've heard yet on the subject - but even that's not a guarantee
Short true story - two guys - Cambodians maybe, if memory serves - were fishing on the rocks at the end of Sachuest Point during a big swell - one of them gets washed over the side but his friend is able to reach him in the surf with the tip of his rod so he can haul him back up the rocks to safety
Unfortunately, it was a 2-piece rod. If you know that spot in a surge, you know the ending. Pretty sad...
Like Dylan said, one should never be where one does not belong - but the line on when and where that is gets fuzzy if you've got fish fever
There are
plenty of dangerous spots to surfcast - I'd have to say that the list of completely safe ones is so short that I'm hard put to come up with one off the top of my head
I dunno, maybe the best piece of safety equipment is actually between your ears - don't feel bad about using it
