Kicking off 16 October 2025, Waves of Wellness (WOW) is running our free, 8-week surf therapy program at Manly Beach.

Designed for men aged 18+ who are at risk of or experiencing mental ill health, this program combines guided group discussions with beginner-friendly surf sessions to support mental health and wellbeing in a safe, fun, and non-judgmental space. 

Led by compassionate mental health facilitators and skilled surf instructors, participants will connect on the sand, learn new skills in the surf, and strengthen their wellbeing through the healing power of the ocean. 

We have two programs each Thursday — one at 6:30am and one at 9:00am — so you can choose the time that suits you best for all 8 weeks.
