I went to the Atlantic Park Surf in Virginia Beach this past week, I don't think it is an experience I will ever repeat. I booked one session, advanced barrels. The session wasn't full so I got all the waves I could realistically take. I got about 10 waves, only half of which were on the barrel setting That works out to $15 a wave. You can only see like maybe 10 yards down the line so you can't really instinctively pace the wave or really get a good read of when it is going to start throwing out.

Most people there either lived super close so they could sneak a session in or were staying in the area and doing multiple sessions. At the price I'd rather just take a surf trip and book my travel last minute once I could see a forecast.

If you've been to pools in the past and enjoyed them, good for you, buy I didn't like it at all. 2/10, would not do again.
