The Surf Therapy Podcast

Stoked Research recently returned from Cape Town where we were attending the first ever Wave Alliance #surftherapy incubator programme. We met a range of start-up surf therapy organisations including Chris Dennis, the most successful competitive surfer to ever come out of Trinidad and Tobago. On this episode Chris shares his story alongside his motivation and plans for surf therapy in the Caribbean, Waves for Hope. We also have our first ever returning guest Tim Conibear who shares a little bit about the newly formed Wave Alliance and what is all about.

Follow Chris and keep and eye out for new Waves for Hope updates coming soon:
