FLURO FRIDAY
OneWave runs weekly Fluro Friday sunrise sessions where the community dress up in the brightest outfits possible and share stories, surf and do yoga to raise awareness for mental health. What started at Bondi Beach in 2013 has now spread to more than 100 beaches worldwide.
Everyone is welcome and you don't need to be a surfer to be involved. Click here to find out if there is a Fluro Friday running at your local beach.
Can't find your beach on the Fluro Friday map? Why not start a Fluro Friday yourself and help kick the stigma in your local community? It is as easy as grabbing a few mates, dressing in fluro and going surfing and sharing stories to help people free the funk. It can be a weekly/monthly event or even once a year.
If running the event on the weekend or any other day works better then we will be just as stoked. We change the name from Fluro Friday to a Free the Funk event.
If you want to find out more about starting a Fluro Friday or Free the Funk event contact grant@onewaveisallittakes.com and we will jump on the phone and chat about making it happen. Yew!
SALTY SESSIONS
We provide people facing mental health challenges free surf lessons so they have the chance to experience how good it feels to catch a wave.
SCHOOL PROGRAM
The OneWave Free the Funk School Experience aims to help 14-18 year olds understand that it's ok not to be ok and encourages youth to use surfing and fluro as a way to free the funk.
We present at the school assembly where we share the OneWave story, build awareness of mental health and we can also incorporate mindfulness activities.
We encourage students to wear fluro to encourage conversations about mental health.
Programs can run from 15 minutes up to 1 hour depending on the goals of the school.
OneWave School Experience Testimonial
"Instantly Grant captured the full attention of the boys who were blown away by his honesty and passion for letting the boys know that their Mental Health matters and it was ok to talk about it.
Since Grant’s speech the students have felt more comfortable talking about their Mental Health, it has made our community stronger and we thank Grant for his support."
Ms Kelly Grlyak - School Counsellor/Phychologist, St Pauls Catholic College

“The story of how they founded OneWave, was powerful and inspiring. As a business, we immediately recognised that we wanted to support them. Their presentation was professional and showed their passion towards changing the way people dealt with mental illness. In the session they shared this profound insight with us, while also creating a positive vibe towards coping with an illness which is typically unacknowledged or ignored. This is a testament to their character and the importance of the cause that OneWave represents.”
