It is the law to have a PFD easily accessable to each passanger on a boat...im not sure if that crosses over to a kayak without registration.
Obviously it only makes sence to have that law include kayaks but where do u draw the line? do i need wear a PFD to paddle my 11' double eagle Frye around? i hope not...so i'm not sure if the law specifically includes kayaks.
On the other hand, if u have a family, or some other reason to value your own life its down right stupid to not wear one, i meen people do win the lottery, get struck by lightning, attacked by sharks...and run over by PB'er everyday. How much do those things cost anyway...maybe I should consider getting one....wait, do u know who much beer i could by with that money!!!!
