In Blue Mind, marine biologist Dr. Wallace J. Nichols explores a powerful idea: being near, in, on, or under water can make us happier, healthier, more connected, and more creative. It’s a concept rooted in science—and it’s exactly what The Point Puerto Rico Therapeutic Gap Program is all about.

In our increasingly digital world, it's easy to get caught up in the allure of screens—whether it's scrolling through social media, binge-watching shows, or engaging in endless online gaming. At Point School Puerto Rico, our therapeutic gap year program, we understand the importance of finding a healthy balance and focusing on mental health.

Surfing extends far beyond a recreational pursuit; it's a transformative experience that teaches us invaluable life lessons. From patience and resilience to mindfulness and community, each wave ridden offers an opportunity for personal growth and deeper understanding. So, whether you're catching your first wave or riding the swell of a lifetime, remember that every moment in the water carries with it a lesson to embrace and cherish.
