About Dahlia Surf Studio

---

Dahlia Surf Studio (501c3) is a community-rooted nonprofit dedicated to the healing, joy, and connection found in the sea. Born from the belief that the ocean is both teacher and therapist, Dahlia blends surf instruction, creative wellness, and community gatherings to nurture mind, body, and spirit. Our programs are grounded in the rhythm of the tides—encouraging stillness, strength, and belonging through time in and around the water.

Our mission is to create inclusive, ocean-based experiences that foster confidence, creativity, and connection. We believe that surf and art together open a path toward self-discovery and emotional well-being. Dahlia exists to make those experiences accessible to all—especially youth, families, and individuals seeking healing, empowerment, or simply a place to belong. Through ocean therapy, creative expression, and mentorship, we invite every participant to find their own version of peace and purpose.

We offer a variety of programs that merge surf culture with holistic well-being—surf lessons, ocean therapy sessions, youth outreach, snorkeling trips, skate meetups, art and music nights, and mindfulness classes. Our gatherings are small, intentional, and heart-led, creating space for both play and reflection. Whether you’re stepping onto a surfboard for the first time, exploring art as therapy, or looking for community that feels like family, Dahlia is a home by the sea.
