Occasionally we check in with the longboard crowd to see what’s up. After watching this new Loaded promo film Swerving Sama we can’t say we’re any closer to understanding exactly what’s going on, but they sure do roll through some beautiful terrain on that new board. Here is Loaded’s definition of Sama:
Sama is the Sufi ceremony focusing on active meditation as a tool for the individual’s spiritual journey. The origin of this practice is credited to Rumi, a poet and founder of the Mevlevi order of whirling dervishes. Through Sama, the individual aims to ascend from the confines of thought to attain heightened maturity, perfection, and closeness to God.
Kind sounds like of the opposite of street skating. Which is the best description of longboarding we’ve come up with yet. . .
