Saltwater buddha: a surfer's quest to find zen on the sea - jaimal yogis

Fed up with teenage life in the suburbs, Jaimal Yogis ran off to Hawaii with little more than a copy of Hermann Hesses Siddhartha and enough cash for a surfboard.

His journey is a coming-of-age saga that takes him from communes to monasteries, from the warm Pacific to the icy New York shore.

Equal parts spiritual memoir and surfers tale, this is a chronicle of finding meditative focus in the barrel of a wave and eternal truth in the great salty blue.
