This sounded crazy to me because I think I’ve seen maybe one or two people wear a PFD while kitesurfing or wind surfing and I’ve never seen a surfer wear one. Is this true or was this guy just borded and felt like hassling me? He told me that he wouldn’t write me a ticket but another officer might.
Wow, that is news to me. I will make some discrete inquiries tomorrow with the FFG folks. You weren't in a Park were you?
