A radio is a good addition and going out with a buddy or in a group, especially for the first few times is a huge advantage. The ORC used to be a great intro to ocean kayak fishing but there are still open invites that you could probably tag along with. Use the search button to find a huge amount of info as well.

I've been looking at drysuits but have been hesitant on getting one. They're expensive and I only make it to the coast once or twice a year. I have a couple of normal 2 way radios so I can charge those and bring them. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.
SD2OR:
I have bought two used but like new drysuits on ebay now, one cost $100, the other $200. Never had any issues with either, other than the first didn't have a relief zipper, and I immediately realized that is an essential feature for me.
I'd definitely give it a look, cause yeah new, they're very expensive!
