Surfing teaches us patience and presence in the moment, helping us overcome life's challenges with strength and peace. At Warrior Surf Foundation, we believe in the transformative impact of surf therapy on Veterans’ mental health. Research continues to show that time in the ocean isn’t just refreshing, it’s life-changing. A study on surf therapy for U.S. service members with Major Depressive Disorder found that "participants were more likely to experience remission from depression three months after the program" compared to those in traditional outdoor therapy. Additionally, a scoping review of surf therapy programs highlighted significant improvements in "physical, psychological, and social well-being", reinforcing what we see every day at WSF. For the Veterans we serve, surf therapy is more than just catching waves it’s about overcoming PTSD, anxiety, and depression, building community, and finding renewed purpose. No matter where they are in the world, we are here to support them through the power of the ocean.? ?If you or a Veteran you know could benefit from our programs, reach out. The waves are waiting!?

At Warrior Surf Foundation, we’re more than just a surf program. We’re a family. Through the power of surfing and shared experiences, veterans find healing, camaraderie, and a renewed sense of purpose. Surfing isn’t just about riding waves—it’s about building connections and creating a community where veterans support each other, find peace, and reclaim their strength. The friendships forged on the beach extend far beyond the surfboard, offering a safe space to grow, heal, and thrive together. We’re honored to provide a space for veterans to reconnect with themselves and with each other, showing that the journey toward healing is never one you have to take alone.
