Here's what some of us do... we wade out to a boulder and climb up on it. The flat surface on the top of said boulder is about a size 13. I wear a size 11 so I'm good. Waves break and hit my knees and send me slightly off balance... and that's when I'm just standing there. Now I lean into a cast... well I really don't lean into it because that would through me off the rock... I lean way back and really wind up and... well not really because I feel like I'm going over backwards when I lean too far back, and that makes me back off... so I really snap a good cast... but I make sure I keep my feet close together so I don't slip and of course I don't move them or change mt stance (because I can't)... But, I get out there pretty good. You add that distance to the 10 -15 yards the boulder is out into the surf and that's pretty far.
Of course when I was standing solid on the sand, in smaller surf, feet spread going through the full range casting motion leaning way back and really loading the rod up, I was getting out just as for or maybe, just maybe.... well standing on that boulder makes me feel more like I am "at one with the fish". So I do it and it makes me happy.
