Heading to nice for UNoc ?

We’ll make sure your ocean conference actually has some ‘ocean’ in it.


All too often, we end up spending hours and hours in conference rooms with air-con, artificial lighting and way too much bad coffee. We’re all talking about the ocean but but fundamentally disconnected from it.

Following on from the success of our first Water Break in Lisbon in 2022, we’re super stoked to be providing the same #bluemind service in Nice with our favourite collab partners, Seatrees. The Water Break program enables hardworking ocean professionals to step outside, breathe, reconnect & play. So when they go back to work, they can make better decisions about how to protect and restore our ocean.

We know that working in the ocean space requires commitment and a crazy amount of hustle. Burnout is no joke. Research shows that spending time in nature (especially blue spaces!) makes us healthier, happier and more productive.

Not only do you get time in the ocean, but you’ll end up meeting new people, sparking good conversations & planning collabs over a post-surf/SUP coffee. Book in some water time with us or shift your meeting to an outdoor location.

No need to worry about the logistics - We manage it all so you can sneak out for a Water Break and make sure you see more than the inside of a conference centre :)


everything you need to know

We’ll be running Water Break sessions throughout UNOC in Villefranche-sur-Mer. It’s a 5-minute train ride from Nice and the perfect spot to start your day! Our sessions are 90 minutes long - starting with 30 minutes of breathwork and followed by 60 minutes of stand up paddleboarding. No experience needed.

Our sessions are free of charge. First come, first served - we’ll send confirmation by email. Please note, there are limited spots available, so we ask that you only register if you’re certain you will join us.
