i started throwing conventional in the surf when i was about 8 years old. my dad set up an old abu 6500 on what was actually a downrigger rod he found at a tag sale. he gave me a couple of jigs, pointed me to the surf, and said "learn!" no books, no advice, just trial and error. LOTS of error! it made me that much better, though, as i quickly learned how to pick even the ugliest of backlashes and i learned from my mistakes as well as the success i had.
i would advise you start in the same manner. tie on a jig, go to a nice calm area where you will not be distracted by breaking fish, and experiment. if you find you are having serious trouble, come back here and let us know. maybe someone can point you in the right direction. if you put the effort in your self, without being told exactly what to do when, it will help you become a better surf fisherman in the end. good luck!
