Nick Hounsfield is a British surfer and social entrepreneur, founder and chief visionary officer of The Wave, the first inland surfing destination in Bristol. Vivobarefoot Founder Asher Clark and Host Emma joins Nick to discuss ‘Blue Health'.

Blue Health is based upon the concept and commonly held belief that spending time near or in water is good for us. Poor physical and mental health have huge negative impacts upon affected individuals, and the growing financial costs associated with treatment can be considerable.

Host Emma is joined by Kerry Turner, Nick Watkins and Luke Brbot. All have represented Australia in Water Polo and now champion youth sport in their current working life.

They run through how sport can shape who we are, giving us the opportunity to learn how to deal with the challenges life throw us and why it is so important children have opportunity to take part and access it.
