The Details

Each session will include:

Formal Instruction: 40-to-45-minutes
Questions and Group Discussion: minimum 15-to-20-minutes (or more instruction- every session will be an hour minimum)
Product Spotlight: something I think is particularly important or related to the seminar
External Resource: Discussion of a resource that has helped me get to where I am as a surfcaster
Entertaining Story: one of my surfcasting stories related to the topic, one that I think is engaging, funny, frightening, etc.

I will be using a multimedia approach. All sessions will use the Zoom platform. Each session will include a combination of media, lecturing, and discussion. This will include PowerPoint, Google Earth, Video, Photoshop, Zoom, and I'll be doing live video "Show-and-Tell" related to gear, lures, and equipment.

This series is designed to help YOU. I want to answer all those questions- big and small- you've been wondering about how to be successful and have fun as a surfcaster. If I don't know the answer, I will not give you any phony-bologna: I will ask others I trust who are experts related to your question, and get back to the group.

Refund for all unused sessions at any time if you are not satisfied!

There will also be LIVE interviews, in conjunction with "Surf Scenarios," where I will conduct in-depth interviews with five of the best surfcasters alive today!

Dave Anderson, Toby Lapinski, Tom Kosinski, Tim Regan, and Jimmy Fee.
