"Feeling Swell began as a simple phrase I would say to our dad, Billy, while surfing at the Jersey Shore. “I’m Feeling Swell.” Loving the term, Billy trademarked it hoping to give it purpose someday.
After a local family was affected by both a drunk driving accident and Hurricane Sandy, we created the first Feeling Swell shirts and sold them through our favorite local spot, Mueller’s Bakery, to raise funds. The shirts flew off the shelves.
Inspired by the strength of our community after Hurricane Sandy and the growing need for mental health support, my brother Brian and I took action.
Understanding the therapeutic benefits of surfing and the need for a supportive environment, we founded our purpose.
Feeling Swell - a surf and support community that harnesses the power of the ocean and the strength of inclusivity to promote mental well-being."-Eric and Brian Barr
