'A beautiful reminder of how and why we should reconnect with water'
– Joe Wicks, The Body Coach and bestselling author of Lean in 15

Surfing, swimming, fishing, we can’t help but spend time in, or near, water. And now, growing scientific evidence for blue health supports what many of us already feel: being around water is good for us.

Nick Hounsfield, the visionary founder of inland surfing lake, The Wave, knows this better than most. Shortly after it opened, he suffered a stroke, at the age of 46. Much of his recovery was in the water.

In Do Blue, Nick tells his inspiring story, alongside Abby Richardson who overcame a fear of waves to find calm in cold water dips. Together they share practical ways to reconnect to blue, wherever you live, and meet the communities and individuals championing wellbeing through water.

From the flow state of surfing, to the mindfulness of fishing and the exhilaration of cold water immersion, Do Blue reveals a multitude of ways to unlock the power of blue. Ready to dive in?
