Wanting to rent equipment and get some tips!

I'm thinking about taking a fishing trip to Florida. Anybody have any tips on where to go? I also would really like to get into surf fishing. I'm from Oklahoma and haven't had much experience in the salt. If there is any surf fishing enthusiasts out there that want to make some extra money, I'm wanting to rent equipment and would appreciate some pointers. I feel $50 for an hour of your time and a couple more hours with the gear would be fair, but I'm willing to negotiate.
If you're interested, let me know!
Thanks,
Nathan
