Skateboarding

Skateboarding

Land surfing?

First of all, there is something about being on wheels. And of course there are a variety of ways to do that, from bicycles to rollerskates...yet perhaps none of them have the grace of riding a longboard. Which is not, perhaps, what draws most people to skating. Maybe what draws most is the style of it, or the culture. Yet as a form of mobility, as a practice of balance, for finding a sense of freedom in motion, a skateboard is pretty appealing...

For whom would skateboarding be a useful restorative practice? Perhaps someone seeking a new way to move through the world, looking for a greater sense of flow. Someone who wants to be practicing balance, being in the body. Someone not afraid of falling down.

Who taught us this?

Moving to Northern California, surfing seemed like the ultimate restorative practice– until you step into the ice bath that is the Pacific Ocean here. We've got lots of friends who are surfers. It seems to make people a bit more laid-back.

Who taught us this?

We learned this from my childhood best friend's father, Billy Brooks, who was a cabinetmaker and expert flyfisherman. So calm on the water, so assured with a line. It was very beautiful to watch. I feel relaxed just remembering the lazy loops of his casting laying out onto the face of the river.
