I think of it this way-the gene pool will be enhanced because of the kayaker w/o a lifejacket that weighed almost 300+ pounds in rough surf and apparently this group that was out in rough surf in a, most likely, wrong type boat. He's lucky to have survived.

I've seen idiots 25-30 miles out in 16-18 foot jonboats with about 6 inches of side clearance. I remember years ago at the Middle banks in 2-4' seas and a huge storm heading south to north, allcharter boats circling trying to decide whether to turn back and two guys in a v bow 16' rowboat with a 25 hp tiller heading due south. I yelled and waved to turen back-never saw them again-I figure they later capsized and drowned.

Sounds about right.
Many many doophi going to be on the water in the next few days.
What do you want to bet we hear more of this type of news over the holiday weekend?

It doesn't matter how good a swimmer you are your not going to be able to fight the currents around SLP. Lucky to be alive.

I always have my inflatable PFD on in the surf and kayak and motoring the boat. Just doesn't make sense not to.

The guy is lucky he wasn't another victim off being stupid...

PFDs fellas

Yep it is that easy, but you will see many knotheads out without them. Like Jerry said, cleaning the gene pool, and there is a lot of cleaning that needs to be done.

Very lucky indeed.

It is going to be a circus on the water this weekend.Everybody watch out for these idiots. Not only can they hurt themselves, they can hurt or kill someone else because of their stupidity.
