Operation Soul Surf
Healing minds one wave at a time
Our mission:
To provide opportunities for first responders and veterans impacted by trauma to experience the healing power of surfing and the ocean as a pathway for Post Traumatic Growth.
Surf therapy
What is Surf Therapy?
Surf Therapy combines the therapeutic elements of the ocean with the joy of surfing to impact the physical and mental well-being of individuals. We offer structured group sessions with qualified and accredited surf coaches.
How can Surf Therapy help?
Surf therapy is being widely used for first responders and military veterans around the world to promote psychological, physical and psychosocial well-being. Operation Soul Surf offers our programs free of charge to participants.
Benefits of the Ocean
We encourage our ‘soul surfers’ to embrace the healing power of the sea. The ocean resets our brain waves frequency, puts us into a mild meditative state and relaxes the nervous system offering a mood boosting effect.
Operation Soul Surf was born from the love of surfing, the ocean and the desire to help those who have given so much for our communities and country.
