At Waves of Recovery, our mission is to help individuals in recovery from mental health and addiction find community, connection and healing through surfing! We believe in the transformative power of the ocean to heal and inspire.
We strive to introduce people to a new freedom and a new happiness, while sharing tools to help people to grow in understanding and effectiveness.
In & out of the water.

About Us
Waves of Recovery grew out of the natural progression of recovery, healing and therapeutic work that both Ryan and Sophie have been personally engaged with over the last 10 years. Founded in 2022, Waves of Recovery was born from a passion for surfing and a commitment to helping others overcome challenges such as addiction, trauma, and mental health issues. Our founders, Ryan an Sophie, experienced firsthand the healing effects of surfing and envisioned a place where others could find solace, strength, and renewed purpose.Waves of Recovery enables us to deepen our impact on the community, provide a safe space for people to learn a new skill and connect with like-minded individuals and allows us to continue spreading the stoke!
