Building Bluetopia - how one man built an inland surfing destination.

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?

Nick Hounsfield is the water-loving founder of The Wave, a world-first inland surfing lake, in Bristol UK, where people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities can experience the joy of waves and their many physical and mental health benefits. Starting with just $600 and a vision, he went on to raise the $40 million needed to make his dream a reality. In 2020, just after opening The Wave, Nick suffered a stroke at the age of 46. His road to recovery - much of it in water - has cemented his belief in the power of Blue Health.

Abby Richardson runs The Wave's proactive outreach Impact Program. Despite being a hopeless surfer and managing her fear of waves, Abby is a massive advocate for cold water immersion and the community to be found around wild swimming. She is passionate about helping people find their own unique connection with water and blue health - whatever their level of water confidence.
