Waterspout winds are generally, not always, considerably lower than tornados, but the wind speeds are upwards of 150 mph, you're not going to hang on to anything with winds of that speed, getting away from things that have mass and can be accelerated towards you is a far better idea, like a boat, paddle etc.
