Ocean & Surf Therapy

Ocean and Surf Therapy is an evidence-based experiential therapy that has been shown to increase overall mental health, happiness and lead to behavioral changes.

Surf therapy is an intervention that combines the therapeutic elements of the ocean, incorporating aspects of mindfulness with the adventures of surfing to impact the physical and mental well-being of individuals.

Benefits of surf therapy treating mental health and substance use disorders:

- - Increases mindfulness
  - Builds self-efficacy
  - Activates “Flow state”
  - Reduces cravings
  - Reduces anxiety/depression/PTSD symptoms
  - Alleviates insomnia
  - Improves cognitive concentration

At Stoked on Life we incorporate Groundswell Surf Therapy™ curriculum which cultivates safer and braver spaces for you to reclaim your healing, power, and belonging as you dive deeper into self-love, sea love and surf sister/brotherhood.

Celebrate Our 1st Anniversary and Help Fund the Cause – September 19th! Join us in celebrating the first anniversary of Stoked on Life Palm Beach and supporting our mission to provide, promote, and research ocean and surf therapy as an experiential intervention for individuals struggling with mental health and substance use issues. Our distinctive approach involves surf and ocean therapy programs led by licensed mental health professionals and expert aqua instructors.

Stoked on Life’s Ocean & Surf therapy curriculum is an evidence-based experiential therapy with profound benefits. This unique intervention harnesses the power of the ocean, blue mind theory, and mindfulness, coupled with the thrill of surfing, to significantly impact individuals’ physical and mental well-being. The benefits are numerous, including increased mindfulness, enhanced self-efficacy, activation of the “flow” state leading to increased empathy and creativity, and reduction of cravings, anxiety, depression, PTSD, insomnia, and improved cognition.

We currently serve treatment centers and first responders, offering 90-minute beach sessions that include both land-based clinical therapy and experiential therapy in the ocean. Each session is supported by a dedicated team of professionals and volunteers, ensuring safety and maximum therapeutic impact.

Support Our Mission: Your contribution is more than just a donation—it’s a vital investment in our community. Help us continue to provide the training, resources, and supervision needed for our trauma-informed surf therapy providers and instructors. Together, we can make a lasting difference.

Surf therapy sessions consist of small, ninety-minute groups facilitated by licensed clinicians and surf instructors using mindfulness and flow skills to engage in surfing/processing therapeutic session.

Sessions begin with land instruction and mindfulness activity, followed by surfing in the water with instructors.

The remainder of the session is on land where participants process with a clinician.

We are grateful for the help and generosity of so many people, organizations, and companies in our community and around the World that align with our mission!

Our mission is unequivocal: to significantly reduce the overabundance of single-use plastic bottles in grocery stores and gas stations. With our delicious electrolyte beverages and innovative bottle, which effortlessly opens our stickpacks, we’ve bridged the gap between the convenience of ready-to-drink options and the inconvenience of tearing open a stickpack and mixing.

We have taken a giant leap towards full sustainability, our groundbreaking approach results in upwards of 99% less plastic usage compared to a traditional plastic bottle. As part of our ongoing commitment, we are actively engaged in testing new compostable stickpack materials, striving to achieve a 100% plastic-free solution. At SHARKBITE HYDRATION, we’re making strides in the right direction for your taste buds, your health, and the planet.
