In Response To: Re: pfd doubts (Topher)

: Do you wear a PFD which will keep your
: face above water when unconscious?

No. However, I always wear a PFD when kayaking.

:If not, why not?

1) I want to swim and move on the surface with relatively normal mobility.

2) I minimize the chance of being knocked unconscious by wearing a helmet in surf, whitewater and any other area or conditions that present the possibility of head injury.
