I don't know much about surfing (I have several friends really into it, along with rock climbing, sky diving, scuba, snowboarding, and all kinds of other extreme stuff I've never tried), but it would make sense to me that a surfer might want a floatation device connected to their body in case they're knocked unconscious. At least for water-skiing, it's required to wear one, so while my traditional mental picture of a surfer doesn't include anything like that, I'm not ready to rule out the possibility that a surfer might use one.
