I have an 8' St Croix musky rod that I use for SB, and here's my 2 cents.
These rods are great from a boat or kayak, but you would be better served with a cork-tape-style rod for surf use. The butt section of the musky rods is not long enough to get the proper leverage for surfcasting. Also, balance is waaay more important from the surf. I use an abu 7000 on my st croix in the kayak with no problems, but I'd never do that from the surf.
Don't worry about these musky rods being up to the task physically, they are STIFF. I knew a guy who used one for deep water cod
If it were me, I'd rather use a rod with a longer butt in a boat before I'd want to use a shorter butt on the beach - if you were only going to buy one rod for both.
If you want to go old-school, maybe have someone wrap you a glass rod with the previously mentioned surf butt length?
