Surf Program

Our Surf Program, run in partnership with Ocean Mind, offers more than just time in the water. It’s a therapeutic, confidence-building experience where children learn new skills, connect with others, and enjoy the mental health benefits of the ocean. 

​

Ocean Mind is a therapeutic surfing charity that enriches people’s mental health, relationships and potential through surfing. They are committed to developing evidence-based programs that create life-changing experiences for people experiencing mental health challenges, social isolation and disabilities. 

​

Sessions are for children aged 8 years and older, with a 1:1 support ratio, ensuring each participant can progress at their own pace. 

 

Goals include: 

  • Gross Motor development; strengthen balance, coordination, and overall gross motor skills 

  • Build confidence, resilience, and a sense of achievement 

  • Support emotional regulation and mindfulness 

  • Foster social connection, communication, and teamwork 

  • Learn practical beach awareness and ocean safety skills
