It's increasingly evident and statistically clear that surfing heals. #surftherapy #veteran #ptsd #mentalhealth #psychology #surf #surfing Cc: @sandiegostate.bsky.social

The fear of heights can be triggered by a four or five-foot wave. Let's not forget that in the take-off moment, the surfer's eyes are another five feet above the wave's crest. The good news is that there are tricks to overcome or tone down #acrophobia. #vertigo #fear #health #surf #surfing
