Default Cast Style?

When surf fishing just wondered how do you cast and whats your range?

with Open Face i tried the Happy Gilmore run and sling, well i have figured out if i make 3 to 4 hard steps and sling the h@ll out of it i can throw all the line off my reel with 4 oz weight and 30 lb test. Reel says it hold 150 yards of 30 lb test

so what's your style and findings of easy or best ways to cast?

When chunk fishing I use the over the head method with a step forward ( every one in my office is looking @ me as I had to reinact to be sure :-[ ;D)
Throwing lighter stuff I use the side wip, with even a litle under hand mixed in..

Only thing I would add would be to let about 4-5 feet of line out prior to casting to get more "catapult" action.

Try the South of the Border Rocket Launcher method.

Go to the South of the Border in South Carolina and buy some rockets, attach to line and aim in the direction you want, light and when it reaches the distance you want close the bail and wait for it to explode.

Works every time. 8)
