It was a privilege to speak at the International Surf Therapy conference in Los Angeles and talk about stories from my “Surf Therapy” book, including surf therapy’s fascinating past (Native Hawaiians left us hints that they knew the benefits of surfing) and the future of the industry (wave pools offering surf therapy to inland populations who otherwise can’t access the sea).
But my favorite part of the conference was listening to everyone else’s surf therapy journey, their goals, and the people they are reaching through surfing. I can’t wait to see how the sector continues to grow, and I hope my “Surf Therapy”book helps the process so that more people can benefit from the healing powers of the surfboards and saltwater.
