And wear a life jacket. Your gear goes back to shore before you
because of the volume that gets carried in the surf. Plus a life
jacket keeps your head out of the water without any effort.
I agree that a surfer should not wear a life jacket as he is tied to
his board, and he can duck dive by holding it correctly. Wearing a
life jacket when swimming in large waves will prevent you from
effectively diving deeper, but unless you are trying to swim out, it
can only help bringing you back to shore.
