Hi

I'm new to kayaking and new here

I'm 6' 4'' 230 pounds a larger man, any suggestions from the members.
 
I want to be safe.

Waders would make more sense for me because I could use them for river fishing when I'm not using the kayak.

Thank you in advance

Both in my opinion. Dress for immersion. wear a farmer john suitable for our cold water and u can get the thin breathable waders to wear as splash gear to keep u dry.

Sweetwater or Saltwater? IMO it makes a huge difference, sweet water you can do a little less, saltwater you can't fool around.
Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
