Saltwater Buddha: A Surfer’s Quest to Find Zen on the Sea

Jaimal Yogis caps off a wild and tumultuous youth by running away to Hawaii, where he chases his dreams of living on the beach and riding warm, tropical waves. But his rebellious adventure soon transforms into an inward-facing journey, as he unexpectedly commits to the study of mindfulness and meditation. In his resulting travels from Buddhist monasteries to infamous surf breaks, Yogis explores the parallels between mindfulness and surfing, and he finds equanimity in the whole-hearted pursuit of both.
