The movement sideways, in culmination since the inception of surfing by ancient Polynesian kings whom took to riding planks on the live faces of breaking waves has since mutated in the 20th century into other variations including skateboarding, snowboarding and other bastardizations thereof.

In the mid-nineties, The Sideways People rock band consciously celebrated this concept with their three piece alternative rock band that was birthed as a side effect of the explosion of the new snowboarding industry the members were involved with. Founding members, Rob Morrow, Jake Hauswirth & Shon Peterson were all involved on different areas of the snowboard industry which inspired and allowed them further pondering of this lifestyle, "Sidewaysism".

Although the acceptance of these sports into mainstream culture has introduced new motivations for participation and rewards, there is no confusion by the purist participants on why the Polynesian kings took to riding waves in the first place and it is the same reason why participants today design their lives around these sacred activities--which do not need explained, if experienced.
