Surf therapy is an emerging mental health field mixing ocean rhythms with supportive clinical activities. Hence we named our charity SURF THERAPY TRUST.

We use surfing; the changeable sea; and elements of group therapy. Participants share with each other as they jointly encounter active and unpredictable nature.

Based in Mount Maunganui, the surfing centre of New Zealand, We aim to enhance physical and mental well-being, social connection, emotional awareness and self-worth through surf therapy and other evidence-based modalities.

Through our holistic program, participants heal and grow together and are empowered to contribute as confident, valued members of their whānau and wider community.
