The hydrostatic pressure of the water provides a blanket of deep pressure to the participants largest organ, the skin. Because of being in a swim suit or wetsuit, the skin is exposed to the viscous fluid; thereby sending the CNS (Central Nervous System) messages about spatial awareness.

The unique properties of the water and energy of the activity allows the participants to work on various skills including developmental and social. Social interaction, self-regulation, speech, proprioception, vestibular, re-patterning of reflexes, motor planning, strength and coordination are just a few areas that are highly likely to improve as a result of this incredibly unique program.

Our team of Surf Specialists will ensure that every participant has the opportunity to practice social skills, learn stress management techniques, make new friends, increase gross motor skills, increase executive functioning skills, muscle tone and spatial awareness…all while learning how to surf independently in non-competitive and nurturing environment.

Our dynamic approach is known to have a positive impact, self-empower, and expand awareness for those participating. Specializing in working with teens affected by substance abuse and/or mental health disorders, we strive to focus on every aspect of their mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
