Our Mission - We are here to create a space for our youth to feel their promise, strength and potential through connection with the ocean & surfing.
At the Asbury Park Surf Club we are advancing access and ocean education equity for students in beach side, former Abbott communities that have a history of limited access to the largest natural resource in their own local community. We understand the ocean is a healing place. Scientifically, being around water gives our brains and our senses a rest from overstimulation. When children surf & connect to their natural environment, they grow. There is more confidence, improved social interaction, increase in communication, improvement in peer relationships & an increase in emotional processing and self-regulation. We are bringing mindfulness, wellness, health, confidence and environmental awareness to children in these seaside communities that have a history of limited access.
