If you are a newbie to surf casting stick with it, it is buy far much easier then Fly Rodding. With surf equipment you can always use weight and muscle to get your offering where it needs to be.

Fly casting takes much more technique and practice rather than muscle. Even with years of practice and experience even the best casters will have considerable trouble casting into a chop with the wind blowing any more than a few knots.
