Surfing: Freedom from the System

from Better High Podcast · host Dr. Matt Bellace

On this episode of the Better High Podcast, we talk about hitting the waves with my surfing buddy Alex Hernandez and the surf team from Ocean City High School in New Jersey. We talked about the natural high of surfing, the unique bond of going out in big surf together and finding freedom in the ocean. From early-morning winter swells to the confidence building benefits of learning how to manage emotions, this conversation dives into how riding waves can build resilience, confidence, connection, and a healthier high.In this episode, Matt also discusses the natural high of nostalgia, the natural low of having a head cold and recent gigs in Upstate New York and New Jersey. #ABetterHigh #Surfing #OceanCityNJ #SurfTeam #MentalHealth #OceanLife #Podcast #StudentAthletes #SurfCulture #FlowState #HealthyHighs
