Tracey Wearne are providing complimentary lessons for the launch event.
The launch is being held to raise awareness of this exciting approach that combines
watersports and complementary therapies to improve health and wellbeing. The
Catch a Wave UK company directors; Anne Harrington (founder and Managing
Director) and Kit Sugden (Marketing Director), and other supporters of the business
will be present and indeed going for a surf themselves!
Anne says: “A huge challenge for me when I initially began surfing, was feeling 'Too
old, too unfit, too busy, not cool enough' to surf. I feel there are a lot of people, who
also experience this and although they would LOVE to give watersports a go, may
feel they have to go through so many hurdles before they even get in a wetsuit!
Our aim is to encourage people to use both watersports and complementary
therapies to improve their health and wellbeing, in particular those who would not
normally have access to these areas. We want to give others the chance to
experience catching a wave too, and to discover a whole range of watersports and
complementary therapies in a relaxed, fun and professional environment.“
Catch a Wave UK Carving a way forward for health and wellbeing!
