Join Darley Newman at Atlantic Park in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where she hits the waves with surfing talent Story Martínez. From beginner-friendly rides to watching elite training sessions, Atlantic Park offers waves for every skill level in a unique surf lagoon setting.

Darley tests her skills as a beginner surfer and shares how Atlantic Park makes learning easier with larger, wider boards and wave settings designed for new riders. It’s the perfect place to build confidence, practice technique, and have fun on the water.

Darley also watches Story Martínez in action as the young surfing standout trains between competitions. Story shares how she travels regularly for contests and uses Atlantic Park to stay sharp, refine turns, and prepare for upcoming events.

After surfing, the fun continues with a post-session reward—pizza and relaxing while watching the pros ride. From beginner wipeouts to serious talent on display, Atlantic Park brings together surf culture, training, and fun in the heart of Virginia Beach.
