  • Atlantic Park Surf - Advanced Barrels | The ONLY Session You Should Book!
    Oct 15 2026

    Sure, Expert and Pro Barrels are sick. But could the Advanced Barrel setting be the ultimate sweet spot? In this full hour session breakdown, we look at why this specific wave type might just be the new go-to, especially if you want to skip wearing a helmet and save a few bucks.The first 20 minutes or so is turns and the last 40ish minutes are barrels. I go wave by wave (the winners and the losers), breaking down the best approaches to surf them, how the Advanced Barrels compares to the Expert and Pro Barrels, why an epoxy board might be your best bet in the pool and more (did I mention you don't have to wear a helmet?).Thanks for watching.

  • Is Atlantic Park Surf’s EXPERT BARREL the BEST Option? I Surfed 3 Full Raw Sessions to See (Review)
    Sep 20 2026

    Trying to figure out which session to pick for your next shred fest at ⁨@AtlanticParkSurf⁩ ? Well, I'm stoked to bring you another epic video of schwacks and toobs from Atlantic Park Surf - in particular, the setting I think is your best bet all around - Expert Barrels.Surfboard wise, we’re back on the 5'10 ⁨@LostSurfboardsNetwork⁩ Rad Ripper, built in Black Sheep Build tech, that suits my style very nicely in the lagoon. Shout out Chris and thanks for the borrow. This board has the perfect amount of epoxy liveliness and responsiveness for pool waves, right at 31.5 liters of volume goodness.I know what you're thinking - what about the Pro Barrels? In this video, I breakdown a full comparison of the Expert Barrels vs Pro Barrel settings, explaining why I actually prefer the Expert Barre for pure fun and/or tube time.Also, we dive into why Atlantic Park Surf is a good bit different from ⁨@dsrtsurf⁩ . They have the same ⁨@WavegardenOfficial⁩ tech, but the size of their lagoons really effects the wave quality and overall approach to how you shred the waves.Shoutout ⁨@flowstate_zone⁩ for the epic footy & (IG) @the_real_wrightcoast for the thumbnail photo.Check out my Pro Barrels Reviewhttps://youtu.be/jrv6LyZK4OwIf you’ve ever found yourself struggling with the drop or getting outrun by the wave in the Atlantic Park surf lagoon, I'm also sharing a new game-changing hot tip in this video: how to master the 'super stall' takeoff. This technique completely changes the game for setting up your tube rides, especially on waves 1 and 2 of the set. Plus, we'll talk about the adjustment from ocean waves to the concrete bottom, helmet protocols, and why smaller fins might actually give you the maneuverability you need in this lagoonThanks for watching - if you enjoyed the video, smash the like and subscribe for more.My Dims5'11175 lbsSurfboard Dims...Lost Rad Ripper 5'1020' Wide x 2.40' Thick31.5 L VolumeSquash TailBook your Atlantic Park Surf Sessionhttps://atlanticparksurf.comTimestamps:00:00 - Surfboard Setup & Raw Sessions Start (feat ...Lost Rad Ripper)00:46 - Expert Barrels Warmup: Turn Settings First 20 Minutes01:08 - Do You Need to Wear a Helmet?
