  • Improved cardiovascular health: The physical activity involved in surf fishing, such as casting and reeling in fish, can help improve cardiovascular health by increasing heart rate and strengthening the heart muscle.
  • Increased muscle strength and endurance: The repetitive motions of casting and reeling in fish can help to build muscle strength and endurance in the arms, shoulders, and back.
