Surfing Partner

Stichting Soul Surfers (est. 2008) is a non-profit organization based in The Hague that uses surf culture and the sea as a catalyst for physical and mental wellbeing. We believe in the healing power of the ocean and in the ability of surf culture to connect, inspire and empower people, regardless of background, ability or experience.

Through our programmes and Free the Funk Sessions, we welcome everyone in The Hague who wants to connect with a community and with themselves through water-based activities. We encourage participants to tune into their bodies and listen to what they are telling them, because that connection is at the heart of making healthy choices and building lasting physical and mental resilience.

Our sessions take place on the beach in Scheveningen, led by professional coaches and volunteers in a safe, relaxed setting where movement, play and community come first.
