Because you can't turn the kayak around or have much steering control at all (in the surf zone) if you are using the pedals/rudder. Nor can you back-paddle. And no, the drive is not faster. Its about the same as the paddle actually. Also, you have much more balance and overall control with your paddle out. Good luck catching a wave without it.
To each their own. I always have the pedals and rudder up on the way out and back in.
