The program can be a one-time activity or ideally an ongoing program where growth and healing can be seen and measured.

Surfing, a sport practiced outdoors in medium that is in constant motion, appears to be an asset compared to traditional sports. It has a broader approach, covering several areas of occupational performance as well as various physical and psycho-social skills of the individual, and it does it in one all encompassing activity. It can have a significant role to play in the life of children with disabilities as well as in children without it can promote physical well-being, combat discrimination, build confidence and a sense of security, as well as play an important role in the healing and rehabilitation process for all people affected by crisis, discrimination and marginalization.

Surfing therapy programs that are well designed can offer important opportunities for leadership development, discipline, teamwork, and personal and professional growth. Advances in technology ranging from wet suits to surfboards make participation in surfing more inclusive.
