Have you ever tried surfing? From my own experience, I will say that after any ride, I feel calm, relaxed, contented and energized. I feel this very moment and enjoy life. Time flies when surfing, emotions go off scale, the force of nature does not allow you to turn off the process. Surfing is a kind of meditation. Surfing makes life better, grips completely and never let you go.

— Simon Shulgin, co-creator of the program

In the corporate world, we often restrain our emotions, sometimes it is difficult for us to be ourselves, trust people and share with them. We are faced with tough deadlines, decision making in a situation of uncertainty, dissatisfaction with our work-life balance.

Surfing allows you to develop, work with your own self-esteem, increase your sense of confidence and accept yourself in the moment, allow you not to give up and keep working on yourself, despite difficulties and mistakes, to go forward to achieve a result.

Surfing has taken a strong place in the well-being direction, working to preserve and restore mental health.
