You can absolutely learn on you own (not disputing that)! Go flail around in the park and get some pointers from a few folks for a couple of times... But you WILL get EXTREMELY frustrated (and it may actually cause you to give up if you learn on the water), so why go through all the headaches?! Shorten the learning curve (by quite a bit) and sign up for a class! Not only will you learn how to cast PROPERLY, but as Kritofr has stated, you will also learn much much more in a class! Why learn someone else's bad habits (or develop your own)?! Get the job done right and you be A LOT further ahead with A LOT less frustration!!
