i use to take my pontoon out at dolphin point on vashon, shilshole anywhere and sometimes out at three tree point.
wind can suck at times cuz they are so light. wash it down after you use it. they take big wake fine and they float so its not going to sink on you.

I ALLWAYS WEAR A PFD though and that is probably the most important thing. you will never get in to shore wearing waders if you flip and have no pfd
