Gotta say been fishing La Jolla from a yak since 2006 never felt unsafe. Always have my pfd and vhf. Sure a EPIRB is a great safety measure but I don't feel its not safe to be out there without one, just sayin

Im kidding, I don't have EBIRB... but my VHF does have DSC/GPS distress. Standard Horizon HX870.

I'd rather have a SPOT than an EPIRB - alot more useful for situations outside of Kayaking...

Which model?

Does this broadcast on an emergency channel, or do you need the app that comes with it to follow the transmitter on Google Maps?

Is it waterproof?
