Saltwater Buddha - Coming of Age Surf Documentary

Fed up with teenage life in the suburbs, Jaimal Yogis ran off to Hawaii with little more than a copy of Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha and enough cash for a surfboard. Now an author and father, Jaimal recounts his journey from jungle communes to zen monasteries, from the warm Pacific to the icy New York shore. Based on the internationally-acclaimed memoir, Saltwater Buddha is a chronicle of finding focus in the barrel of a wave and truth in the great salty blue.
