WHAT WE DO

THE ONEWAVE STORY

 

After years of battling with mental health issues without seaking treatment, OneWave Founder Grant Trebilco was hospitalized in 2012 and diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The ocean and surfing was Grant’s saviour in tough times when he was released from hospital. He discovered that sometimes onewave is all it takes. After hiding mental health issues for years, he decided enough was enough and decided to start talking and sharing his experience to try and help others. So one Friday morning he decided to dress up in a shirt and tie and go surfing solo at Bondi to try and spark conversations about mental health. That was OneWave’s first board meeting, which 4 weeks later became Fluro Friday's and have now taken place at more than 100 beaches worldwide.
