The basic set-up is cheap and ongoing costs are minimal, so anyone can get involved, fishing the edge.

In this book you will learn the basic knowledge required to be successful, from where to go, baits to use, reading the beach and the different types of beaches, fishing around the rocks, tackle, rigs, accessories, fishing lures, casting, night fishing, in fact everything you need to know for successful surf casting.
