About Surf Therapy
*Note: No surfing experience required. Only requirement is ability to swim and an open heart.
Surf therapy is a powerful tool that has been shown to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. When combined with therapy, the benefits of surfing can be even more profound. Our surf therapy program uses a combination of surfing, group therapy, and holistic activities and includes a curriculum designed to help individuals navigate the challenges of early recovery. Our therapists focus on providing a supportive environment to explore their emotions, deepen their connection with nature, and develop healthy coping techniques that can be used throughout their recovery journey.
