The WOW Surfing Experience (WOWSE) is an eight-week evidence-based learn-to-surf program for people experiencing mental health issues. It facilitates functional recovery while promoting social inclusion, engagement and enhanced quality of life. The primary focus of the program is to introduce surfing to participants as a way to improve physical health, mental health and well-being in a neutral, non-intrusive environment. The program uses the ocean and surfing as a conduit to explore, stimulate and facilitate positive therapy outcomes.

Location: Cronulla Beach
