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.
