Yes, he will be required to wear one while doing anything alone, on his kayak or fishing tournaments, etc. and whenever it's legally required (jetski).
In talking to my wife last evening, I think we're going to go with a conditional policy at first—rough waters, high traffic areas, windy docking situations will still require a PFD.
Though there is always a danger to any activity, there's also always a line between caution and risk. As a parent, that line is sometimes hard to define!
