Do Blue by Nick Hounsfield & Abby Richardson | Guide to Blue Health Book

Discover the scientific evidence behind blue health and explore how being in, on, or near water can deeply restore your body, clear your mind, and lower daily stress. Co-authored by Nick Hounsfield, the visionary founder of inland surfing lake The Wave, and Cornwall-based writer Abby Richardson, Do Blue explores why water has such a profound power to slow us down and wash away the noise of everyday modern life.

An Honest, Grounding Path to Water Therapy

Much of this inspiring, quietly life-changing volume was written during Nick’s personal recovery from a stroke at age 46, cementing his profound belief in the healing power of water. Part of the highly acclaimed Do Books series — small books with big ideas — this guide weaves moving personal stories with emerging scientific research to show that water is a living teacher:

• The Science of Blue Health — A clear, accessible breakdown of why water environments boost emotional wellbeing more than any other landscape.
• The Flow State of Surfing — Insights into the therapeutic benefits of wave riding, wild swimming, cold water dips, and the quiet mindfulness of fishing.
• Practical Reconnection Tools — Actionable, everyday ways to unlock the power of blue wherever you live — whether that’s starting with a cold shower or stepping into a sea swim.
