I don't go so far from shore that I can't swim back, besides I check each time to see how the wear is going. Since it mostly gets dragged over estuary mud which is slippery, rather than gritty beach sand, the wear is negligible. If it's being used over gritty surfaces, it's light enough to carry to the water rather than drag over the sand. If it gets too thin for comfort, I can always slap on some fibreglass.
