The Feeling Swell Foundation exists to support mental wellness through the healing power of the ocean. Rooted in our coastal community and built on the belief that connection to nature heals, we have partnered with local professionals to offer surf therapy and ocean therapy programs that help individuals navigate life's mental health challenges with strength and support.
We know that the ocean has the power to calm the mind, restore balance, and build resilience. Through curated surf sessions, group support, and mindfulness in nature, we offer a unique path to emotional well-being—especially for youth, veterans, and those facing personal struggles.
You can join us on our mission by purchasing something from our Surf Apparel Collection of t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats and accessories or donating directly to the Feeling Swell Foundation. Every dollar goes directly to funding sessions, equipment, and access for those who need it most. When you give, you’re helping someone find their breath again, ride their first wave, or connect with a supportive community that understands.
