The perceive that surfing strongly resilience stress, irrespective of any concurrent clinical therapy. They identify three mechanisms: creating happiness or joy; activity, thrill, triumph self-esteem; social, support friendship from other surfers. these as building a cumulative buffer gratitude life, which provides against setbacks.
