Good for surfing? I want to use it to cut kelp in case of entanglement but concerned about it coming loose & cutting me while the sea tumbles me around.

It locks in pretty solid. I don't know that there is anything that is going to keep a knife in a sheath if your are tangled in debris. You should already have it out at that point. Down side: Knife is titanium and it cannot be sharpened.

This knife is not likely to come loose, but i'm not a surfer either. you get thick rubber straps that don't budge even when the ocean is kicking up quite a bit. the knife snaps into its holster and won't release unless you push on it with your thumb. you should work with that to make certain you are used to using it in the ocean. should be exactly what you want.

Saw bear grylls use this in a man vs wild episode, thought why not. Love this knife, it can do whatever you need it to.

I sharpened it once and I use it in the army it locks into the sheath it won't come out unless you want it to.

Yes, it's pretty good but build-wise isn't that sturdy. Loses it's finesse in close cut, if you drop it accidentally !

Andrew, Let me be the first to tell you this thing can handle a rough environment. I was actually looking for something a little more dainty but this would be great for what you are looking for. It doesn't seem to be completely water proof so keep that in mind but if you are just spilling some things on the front, back, or spine it would be PERFECTLY fine. It cleans off easily and is very sturdy. I hope this answered your question.

If you use it around salt water you will have to really take care of it daily. It would need to be wiped down with a lite oil at the end of each day. It is an EXCELLENT knife, but it's carbon steel, and the salt will wreck it if you let it.

It is definitely durable enough to be used in the ocean or a bay as a paddle bord. It is not a surf board, and I don't think it should be used to "surf a wave into shore".

I used it for surfing Santa Cruz waters and San Francisco's. I believe a 3mm should do very well. This glove is so hard to take off and put on. it's definitely meant for heavy duty but not if you won't soak it up with water, otherwise it'll be super heated, andbit becomes heavy especially when I have to paddle for waves.

I am not exactly sure what specifically would make it good for kayaking but I use it when I am Stand Up Paddle Board racing. The only issue you might have with it is there is no cross piece that holds the two shoulder straps together so if you are doing some really rough kayaking, it might not stay secure on your shoulders, but if you are just paddling around, it would be fine.

I'd advise against it. The tang for attachment is modest and you would want it all on a board for added strength.

I would be afraid of puncturing it on something. Stick to the smooth water surface. I don't even suggest you let little kids play on it in the grass or sandy beach. Keep it in the water. Just my opinion

That's not a bad idea, but that's really up to you. I've run over over plenty of things from trees fallen under water to sticks thick enough that stopped my boat. The boat has survived them all. It's a great boat and was definitely worth getting if you want to see if kayaking was your thing. You need to run over something so sharp or hard that can puncture this boat, but if you're careful. This boat can last you for quite some time.

Hey Colin, allthough I don't travel that far with these soft surf racks, my trips range from 1.5 to 2 hrs. I have never had a problem with the tightness of the boards and not too worried about losing them. The main problem I see is that if it rains, the straps leak water into your car. I would think that on a 12 hr road trip to the beach you will catch some rain, but the boards should be secure for the trip

I'm guessin' it's for real since that's what the folks at SOLOSHOT say. I've only used it outdoors for surfing so far.

Probably. If you are being towed or using any kind of rope I'd recommend. If you are sail surfing, not sure. Have fun!

Jordan, although this case is not waterproof I was also thinking about using it in my Kayak. Most decent GPS/Fish finders carry atleast an IPx7 rating basically what this means is that it will withstand incidental exposure to water of up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. So IMHO I think you would be fine using this, if the boat flips make sure it comes out of the water ASAP and dry it off. Shouldn't be a problem.

It doesn't feel fragile at all. As a matter of fact my buddy just borrowed it to go sailing in his dinghy. I bought it for wakesurfing/wakeboarding in colder weather. The suspenders help a lot with the fit and feel and I stayed nice & dry. Other dry suits I've tried let a little water in the neck, but not this one. I'd say add to cart...

I have never used my Beast reel for surf fishing. I used it for a couple of weeks last year trolling for salmon. I seems like a pretty good reel and I have had no problem with it, but it isn't my favorite. I seems to me to be a bit too heavy, but it does work well.

Though it seems very sturdy to use for casual floating about, I would be a bit nervous about the rock bit. Maybe bumping into them as long as they aren't jagged but not sure about scraping over them if there are sharp ones. I wouldn't worry about the white water at all. Good handles to grab onto for being jostled about. I would ask about the severity of the rocks. If they aren't treacherous, I would do it.
