“Why can surfing feel so good for your mental health? Because it combines movement, nature, attention, challenge and connection—all in one experience.”

Slide 2 — Six mechanisms

“Paddling supports physical activity and stress regulation. The moving wave captures your attention. Challenge, skill and immediate feedback can create flow. The ocean provides blue-space exposure, improving your skills builds confidence, and surfing with others may reduce isolation.”

Slide 3 — Brain and body

“Your brain is continuously combining vision, balance, body position and movement. This pulls attention into the present moment, leaving less mental space for repetitive worry. Catching a wave provides immediate reward and mastery, followed by recovery and a stronger sense of capability.”

Slide 4 — Benefits

“Studies of surf therapy report promising improvements in mood, stress, anxiety, resilience and social belonging. Exercise may also support energy and sleep, while natural environments may help overloaded attention systems recover.”

Slide 5 — Mental-health cycle

“Surfing does not simply keep the nervous system calm. It repeatedly moves you through alertness, focused action, effort, achievement and recovery. Practising this cycle may help stress feel more manageable and build confidence over time.”

Slide 6 — Assumptions versus evidence

“But we should not claim exact dopamine boosts, that the default mode network switches off, or that surfing guarantees BDNF increases. The most accurate explanation is multi-factorial: exercise, nature, focus, mastery and connection working together.”

Closing line

“Surf safely, start within your ability, and remember: surfing can support mental wellbeing, but it is not a replacement for treatment.”#surfingwa #mentalhealthneuroscience #neuroscience #nervoussystemregulation #adhd

Life has been a little bit of everything lately…
Work that fires me up…
People that slow me down…
Between the chaos & the calm, it all seems to make sense!

Happy 40th to one of the great humans.
Long before I knew @justin.majeks, I knew who he was. Six-foot-something, handsome as hell, swagger before the term existed, a Channel Islands sticker on the back of his old Range Rover. Wait, he surfed too? What couldn’t this guy do? Turns out, not much.

Twenty-five years on we’ve worked and played, travelled and partied, and ridden life’s rollercoaster through all kinds of highs and lows, and there’s not many better fellas. Devoted Dad, rock solid mate, heart like a lion, @papabinnstagram’s biggest hero. We love ya Juddo!
