I see so many folks, mainly kayakers like me head out without a radio. I always carry one. Never had to use it thank goodness. Anyway after seeing some guys come in from a couple miles out at Dana Point made me wonder why anyone would take such a chance.
Decided to write an article on subject (cuz thats what I do) so take a look if your interested in getting one anytime soon.
