A standing wave in a Tampa-area family entertainment center, at $90 an hour or $75 on a membership. Judged as a standing wave for learning and repetitions, it fills a gap in Florida's west coast.
Heroes Paradise is a family entertainment center in Brandon, outside Tampa, best known for outdoor laser tag, which opened in June 2020 and added an EpicSurf deep-water standing wave in summer 2026. The wave is 46 feet wide, takes both surfboards and bodyboards, and adjusts from about 3 to 5 feet.
EpicSurf is a deep-water standing wave that you ride in place, on a surfboard or a bodyboard. The unit here is 46 feet wide and its height can be set from about 3 to 5 feet in seconds, which the operator uses to match settings from beginner to advanced. Sessions are an hour long and queue-based, with a maximum of 12 people.
Tampa-area beginners and families, bodyboarders, and Florida surfers who want repetitions between swells. Florida's traveling-wave pool, The Point in Fellsmere, is about 118 miles and two and a half hours east, so the two cover different needs.
A one-hour EpicSurf session is $90. A monthly membership is $450 for six sessions, which works out to $75 a session, and includes a 15% discount for one guest a month; committing to 12 months locks in the rate. Each session needs at least four people booked for the wave to run, so a single surfer books first and the park promotes the slot on Instagram to fill it. If lightning stops a session, the unused portion is credited rather than refunded. Read from the Heroes Paradise booking store on 26 September 2026.
Brandon is about 12 miles and 20 minutes from downtown Tampa, and Tampa International is about 19 miles away. Book online, and if you are surfing alone, book anyway: the park posts under-filled sessions on Instagram to reach the four-person minimum. Arrive 30 minutes before your start time.
