There's something about water. The way it slows you down, opens you up, makes the noise of everyday life feel a little further away. Do Blue is a quiet, compelling guide to why that is — and how to bring more of it into your life.

Written by Nick Hounsfield, founder of inland surfing lake The Wave, and Abby Richardson, who found calm in cold water after years of fear, this book weaves personal story with growing scientific evidence for blue health. From surfing and wild swimming to fishing and cold water dips, it explores the many ways water can restore us — wherever we live.

Nick wrote much of this book during his recovery from a stroke at 46. It's honest, grounding, and quietly life-changing.

You'll find:

The science behind blue health and why water works
Practical ways to reconnect with water, wherever you are
Stories of communities and individuals finding wellbeing through blue
Inspiration to start — whether that's a cold shower or a sea swim

A beautiful gift for anyone who feels most themselves near water.
