San Diego winter kayak attire - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

When I'm launching in the surf (LJ) in winter, I wear a farmer john wetsuit and booties, and a number of various poly (non-cotton) layers on top.

I have an older Revo, so my butt is at least sitting on a wet seat the whole time.

Dry suit or paddling pants, or possibly waders might be better, but my farmer john was like $12 at the thrift store and it does fine.

I wear a spray skirt so am dry from waist down .. hoodie /sweater over long sleeves and rain jacket if needed for spray...usually end up just wearing long sleeves

Quick question from a newbie. Isn't wearing waders while kayaking dangerous? Wouldn't the waders quickly fill up with water if you tip over into the water? Just asking.....

most waders have a belt integrated, and you want to wear it tight enough to not let water past the waistline.
