I'm glad you've found that FL surf fishing is to your liking ... but for heaven's sake be careful out there. You and Hannah are a good-looking couple with all your limbs in place. Remember that sharks are very flexible, so watch out in the shallows and be cautious when resuscitating those 7foot+ specimens.

I used to go shore fishing all along the Atlantic seaboard from Maine to the Keys, but stopped wading in the water once I got attacked by a 8 foot Bull Shark in Florida. You'd be surprised how shallow they go; especially when there is bait fish present or a feeding frenzy on. Luckily for me, I had on a thick pair of those old, hard rubber waders with doc martins inside. The teeth sliced into the waders but did not penetrate the boots.

Respect the Atlantic sharks... the water is warmer, so they have a worse temper....

BTW... you should also wear a rod belt... your abdomen will thank you for it!
