Its an article by Joe (Lyons), on learning surfcasting. In my opinion, it provides good, solid advice for a beginner, including a plug for this site (and another) as a potentia resource.
I think one of the best pieces of advice given in the article for a novice is to begin by fishing relatively well know (ie. crowded) spots, identifying the surfacaster/fisherman who knows what he's doing, and simply paying attention to what he's doing. Nothing beats seeing something done first hand.
I also agree about the quality of the Fisherman this year, definite improvement overall
