The benefits of Nature and outdoor life on mental health

Surfing
We all sense it when we take in a sunset, soak up some sun, or catch that perfect wave. Nature is vital. We're meant to be outdoors.
Research in the emerging field of ecopsychology supports our intuitive knowledge of Nature's physical and mental health benefits.
From promoting exercise to boosting your mood, spending time outside is good medicine for your body and mind.
While surfers understand our connection to Nature better than most, we don't always act on it.
With the frantic pace of life and a million reasons not to head to the beach, it's easy for us to put off or even feel guilty about pursuing our passion.
