Link – Battling Mental Illness One Wave at a Time

After opening up, Trebilco quickly found that he wasn’t alone. Many of his surfing buddies struggled with similar issues, like depression and anxiety, and were willing to talk about them. Through open discussion – mixed in with surfing – Trebilco formed the inception of One Wave. But then, Trebilco’s manic personality kicked in again; he was so excited about his new project that he stayed up for two days, culminating in a surf session dressed in a suit and tie – a one-man board meeting. And that’s where the idea for “Fluro Fridays” came about.

This is cool. I’m glad there are people out there talking about depression and metal health in various places, and to actually have fun while opening up about depression? That’s an awesome way to bring it out in to the light.
