Time for a board meeting?

Are you sensing your crew are stressed out at work? Maybe a little flat in energy? Is the company culture slipping away? Or, there’s a good chance you’re all a bit ‘Zoomed out’, and there’s a need for your team to reconnect ‘offline.’ A good business retreat away from the daily grind is in need. Here are three reasons why a team surf on your trip is perfect for getting the best from your team.?

1. Health

The physical act of surfing is great exercise, working the muscles all over your body, especially your core. Plus, you really don’t need to be super fit to enjoy surfing, it’s very beginner friendly and not ageist. A healthier crew will result in fewer members of staff needing time off work due to illnesses etc.

2. Wellbeing

Surfing reduces stress and provides a happiness boost as the body produces dopamine and serotonin. The time we spend in the ocean is proven to have a calming effect on us. The meditative style state you float into from being in the moment and catching waves eases tension and improves our mood. And as we all know, positive wellness experiences are so important for us both physically and mentally. So, why not switch from the red-zone your team may be in and go into the blue-zone through the power of vitamin-sea.

3. Happiness

The cherry on top is that all of the positive health effects from surfing can help with business costs and productivity. Having a happy team not only leads to a better togetherness, it also increases creativity and energy levels at work. Surfing is awesome fun - catching waves, supporting each other and sharing some smiles – what’s not to love about that? Happiness is always the goal! And as we all know, a happy team is a successful team.

Whatever way you bring surfing into your business, it really is an amazing team building and wellness activity. Ready to catch some waves in 2024 on a company offsite? Pop us a message to get the ball rolling.
