The Feeling Swell Foundation exists to make surf therapy more accessible. We’ve seen firsthand how powerful the ocean can be for mental health, but access to that experience isn’t always easy. There are real barriers, cost, gear, access, confidence, and sometimes just the feeling of not belonging, that keep people from getting in the water.

We’re here to remove those barriers. We help cover the cost of surf therapy programs, provide gear like wetsuits and boards, and connect people to trusted programs and opportunities. We also create beginner-friendly surf days with no pressure or expectations. Just an open invitation to show up.

Everything we do is about making it easier for more people to get in the water, feel supported, and experience the benefits of surf therapy. Because everyone deserves the chance to feel like they belong out there.
