Waves 4 Women

06/01/2026

🩵🧡June is here, and with it comes more opportunities to connect, heal, grow, and spend time in the ocean together. 🌊

Whether you’re joining us for a surf clinic, a wellness gathering, a community beach sweep, or one of our partner programs, we hope you’ll find a space where you can take a deep breath, feel supported, and remember that you don’t have to navigate life’s waves alone.

At Waves 4 Women, we believe healing happens in many ways—through movement, connection, community, laughter, shared stories, and time spent in nature. Every event is an invitation to show up exactly as you are.

🧡 New to us? We’d love to meet you.
🩵 Returning participant? We can’t wait to see you again.
🧡 Looking for connection? There’s a place for you here.

Join us this June and experience the power of the ocean, the strength of community, and the reminder that you belong.

🏄‍♀️Surf. Connect. Heal.

Sometimes the most caring thing we can do is make the hard call early. 🌊💙

Out of respect for our participants, volunteers, and the beautiful community that shows up for Waves 4 Women, we’ve made the decision to cancel this Saturday’s surf therapy clinic due to the forecasted weather conditions. ⛈️☔️

We know many women arrange childcare, work schedules, transportation, emotional energy, and courage just to say “yes” to showing up. Making this decision ahead of time allows everyone the space to pivot, regroup, and make other plans without the added stress of uncertainty.

Our participants will be contacted individually with information about upcoming clinic opportunities, and we cannot wait to get everyone back on the beach soon. ☀️

Thank you for continuing to trust us with your healing, connection, and growth.
We are so grateful for this community. 🩵🧡

🏄‍♀️ Yesterday was our first women’s-only surf therapy clinic kickoff of the season, and WOW!!! — the energy was something special. 🌊☀️

Our Waves 4 Women volunteers showed up in full force with open hearts, steady encouragement, and the kind of presence that helps women feel safe enough to try, connect, laugh, breathe, and heal.🫶🏄‍♀️

This monthly clinic is in partnership with , an incredible women’s only addiction and recovery program.

Because of the sensitive and sacred nature of this work, we do not always share photos of the women who participate. Protecting their privacy, dignity, and experience will always matter more than capturing the moment.

But trust us when we say — these women were served beautifully. 😍 They showed up with courage, and our volunteers helped create a safe, nonjudgmental space where they could connect with each other, with the ocean, and with themselves.

🙏 To our volunteers: Thank you for carrying the mission before the first wave ever rolls in. 🌊

You are the heart of Waves 4 Women. 🧡

Are you a female surfer who loves to lift up other women? We’d love to have you on our volunteer crew to help love, support, and teach other women how to connect to the ocean, themselves, each other and surfing as a means of healing.
Reach out to learn more.

No time to volunteer physically? No problem. We’d be so grateful for you to share our mission with others who may want to join as a participant in our clinics.

Surf. Connect. Heal. 🩵🧡🩵🧡🩵🧡

Why Waves 4 Women? 🌊

Because women heal differently when they heal with other women.

W4W was created by women, it is led by women, and intentionally designed to support women through all kinds of life experiences and transitions.

Women come to us for all kinds of healing — carrying stress, burnout, grief, recovery journeys, divorce, loneliness, past abuse, caregiver exhaustion, or seasons that have left them disconnected from themselves.

At Waves 4 Women, we believe surf therapy is about more than learning to surf.

It’s about stepping into the ocean exactly as you are — nervous, hopeful, healing, strong, uncertain, brave — and being met with encouragement instead of judgment.

We are a space where women can breathe deeper, laugh louder, reconnect with themselves, and remember who they are underneath everything life has handed them.

Women supporting women — Where every woman belongs.
In and out of the water. 🧡🩵

Join us for our Women’s Surf Therapy Clinics this summer.
Our first clinic begins May 30. 🌊

Waves 4 Women was honored to be one of the charitable recipients from the proceeds of the Sea & Sand Festival through the Folly Association of Businesses (FAB). 🌊🩵

We are incredibly grateful for the support of FAB and this amazing community that continues to believe in the healing power of connection, community, and the ocean.

Thank you for helping us continue to create safe spaces for women to surf, connect, heal, and grow. 🏄‍♀️🩵

We appreciate you more than you know. 🧡🩵

Press pause for a second.

And listen. 🌊

The waves don’t ask you to have it all together before you arrive.
They don’t care what you look like in a bathing suit.
How long it’s been since you’ve done something for yourself.
How overwhelmed, anxious, lonely, burned out, heartbroken, or exhausted you may feel.

The ocean simply meets you where you are.

At Waves 4 Women, our Women’s Surf Therapy Clinics are about so much more than learning to surf.

They are a space to:
✨ breathe deeply
✨ reconnect with yourself
✨ calm your nervous system
✨ laugh again
✨ build confidence
✨ meet supportive women
✨ feel safe, seen, and encouraged

You do not need experience.
You do not need to be athletic.
You do not need to “fit in.”
You just need to show up.

Sometimes healing looks like therapy.
Sometimes healing looks like salt water, community, and remembering who you are beneath the stress of everyday life.

If your soul has been asking for a reset lately… this is your sign. 🌊🩵🧡
