Tom Blake: A Surfer's Philosophy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2018
- This film explores the thinking of Tom Blake, one of the great pioneers of surfing in the early and mid part of the 20th century. Focuses on how Blake was profoundly influenced by the scientific theories of Albert Einstein, especially his understanding of E=MC2. Tom Blake has had a tremendous influence on a number of water sports, ranging from surfing (he developed the hollow board, leashes, and fins) to sailboarding to paddleboarding. He was a world-class swimmer who was friends with Duke Kahanamoku. Blake was also one of the first to surf Malibu back in the 1920s and lived off and on in Honolulu for years. The film is partially based on Professor David Christopher Lane's book, Tom Blake: A Surfer's Philosophy--an excerpt of which appeared in Surfer's Journal. The movie also explores Blake's philosophical pantheism where he equates Nature with God and a brief section on Blake's adoption of vegetarianism back in 1924.The lifestyle million of surfers around the globe enjoy today can be traced, ,at least in part, back to Tom Blake and his visionary outlook on how to live life.

I a surfer have lived by Tom's philosophy my whole life and I am a better man for that I hope more people discover him 😊
Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), his spiritual wisdom is far far ahead of million of us, he is a seeker and preacher of wisdom, truth, peace, humility morale, righteousness and unconditional love to all sentient beings .
The morals of man kind, individually and collectively is in need of restoration via reading the literatures of great souls and following their teachings.
Even though I'm not a surfer, I live my life as if I'm on surf board through life...just chilling enjoying the weather and surf, life comes along knocks me down...I struggle but I get back up on my board remind myself to chill😎 and continue surfing.🤷♂️

Considering this , who is the Blake that made this board in 2003?? Anyone?? Bueller Bueller??? Thanks for ur help if u can 🤙🙏✌️
Nature is God. God is nature. This how I see the world.
Obey God's Laws - Nature Law of cause and effect (consequences). Whatever work/activities/karma we do (planting the type of seeds) we reap our own result of the type of fruit in the future.
Material/physical body is mortal, the soul(living entity) is spiritual, eternal and immortal.

This is great!
The individual unique soul is the source of energy (consciousness/symptom of life/living force) of all moving(animal) and non-moving (plant/vegetation). Body (animal and plant) without the source of energy (soul) is a dead/deceased body.
Until today I had never heard of him, however, I found myself having a lot in common philosophically. I don’t “worship” nature though. Trees and water etc are very dear to me but the nature of Mankind? Not so much
My dad surfed Waikiki with Tom Blake in the 1940s. Bought his first surfboard from Tom which was waterlogged and overpriced. Tom was a bit of a grifter like all true surfers because all that matters is the next wave. I built my life around surfing but never tried to make money from it. No true surfer gives a rats ass about money. Just enough to keep surfing. The wave comes first, before school, before career, before money, before anything but family and sometimes even them.
Nah, if it's important to be celebrated as some kind of brainy guy, the thread is lost. God created us, and creates us again at Resurrection. The hung up world is going out along with our life experiences here, and the Paradise comes. Isaiah 65: 13-17.
