Was a comprehensive explanation of how to surf cast. Well written and thorough. I had read it while working overseas on a ship with the intention of surfcasting with a group of friends... however when I got back no one was doing it anymore. With that said I feel the book did prepare me and I would have been able to be successful in getting that big catch.
