I never said filled waders would take one under but waders filled with water are the last thing I'd want to be dealing with in an open beach surf entry or exit. I got flipped at Aliso in a wetsuit and it was survival. I can't imagine if I had been wearing waders--trying to lug myself up out of the shorebreak with 30 pounds of seawater inside. Open beach entries with surf are guaranteed to put water inside waders. So even from a comfort level, I recommend against them. Now, beaches with a lake-like shore (doheny on a north or west swell, dana or newport harbor, long beach, etc.) are fine for waders.
