Welcome to The Wave Project North East!
The Wave Project has been established in Tynemouth since 2020, when Project Co-ordinator Mel Thomas set up the successful pilot scheme.
Surfing therapy is now firmly established in Tynemouth and we run 6 week courses in the spring and autumn from both Tynemouth Surf Co and Longsands Surf School. During the warmer months, we also run a fortnightly surf club for young people who have completed a 6 week surfing therapy course.
