The stoke is not your imagination! A @Deakin study found that structured, six-week surf therapy programs significantly reduce anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms in youth while improving resilience, self-esteem, and social connectedness. Keep Surrrrfin Art by @MattAllen_Art

So fun reading the @Mop_Rides books with kids in Big Sky Montana. They all agreed Mop needs to go snowboarding in the next edition. I couldn’t agree more

Ran into @MattAllen_Art - illustrator of the @mop_rides books and creator of so much rad ocean art - on a road trip north for his OCN Culture art show tomorrow in San Anselmo. If you’re in the north bay go check out his photos and prints & maybe get a MOP book signed 🤙🛸🌊

To any of my new followers, here’s a friendly reminder that the Saltwater Buddha feature documentary is up on YouTube. I think I’m also posting this to manifest more surfing in warm waters. youtu.be/H7xprlVEpgM

Change is in the air - especially if you’re a cloud becoming a rain drop for the first time. Absolute blast reading THE ADVENTURES OF DRIP AND DROP to a lively crowd at @blackbirdbooksf this week! Left many signed copies. If you’re out shopping support your local indie bookstore

Thank you Sibley! Nice to see Drip and Drop readers making the connection between the science of the water cycle and the interconnection between us. penguinrandomhouse.com/books…

Happy Fathers Day Dad! Love surfing with you more than anybody (except Mom - haha). Thanks for being a rad dad - helping me breathe through the scary waves and believe in myself. Love you as wide as the seas on all the planets in the universe! Mop

Reminder from @mop_rides: when those uncomfortable feelings come, take a breath and feel the sensations in your body…. They come and go like waves. Art by @mattallen_art from Mop Rides the Waves of Courage
