Mindfulness in Surfing by Sam Bleakley

Anyone can surf, and everyone can be mindful.

Mindfulness in Surfing explores how riding waves can be the ultimate meditation. International longboard surfing champion, Sam Bleakley, takes us on a soulful journey across the tideline of his personal and philosophical travels. Through lunar cycles and river surfing to the Taoism of nature, he reveals an acute awareness of what the oceans can tell us about our place in the natural world – meditating on one of nature’s greatest elements – and its healing powers.

Sam Bleakley is a writer, geographer, filmmaker, adventure activist, surf contest commentator, lecturer in sustainable tourism and former European longboard champion. Sam is a specialist in emerging surf cultures, with particular interest in a new wave of Asian surfers who advocate the ancient practices of mindfulness in Buddhism and Taoism.
