Our mission is to help individuals in recovery from mental health and addiction find community, connection and healing through surfing and getting outside and pushing beyond their comfort zone! We strive to introduce people to a new freedom and a new happiness, while sharing tools to help people to grow in understanding and effectiveness. In & out of the water.
