In just six years, OneWave has achieved a global impact, raising awareness and reducing social stigmas around mental health issues through their Fluro Friday Sessions. Trebilco says “Bright colors make people happy and help start conversations about an invisible issue. Combine that with surfing and it is a great recipe to help free the funk.”
Fluro Friday’s started at Bondi Beach, Australia in March 2013. It has since gone viral with Fluro Friday sessions held at more than 170 beaches globally, as far and wide as California, Hawaii, Mexico, the UK, New Zealand, Bali, India, Samoa and Fiji. Fluro Fridays consist of creating a space for an “anti bad vibes circle” allowing people to share stories in a safer environment, as well as a fluro paddle out surf session and free fluro yoga.
OneWave is proudly supported by Medibank as part of the Free + Active program. Medibank Free +
Active is a health and wellbeing program, which aims to tackle physical inactivity and promote community connection, with the goal to help 1.5 million Australians get active in mind, body and community over the next five years.
