- 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.

Read your book twice, and each time my understanding of what it means to be a living soul on this planet was deepened. As a 76 year old surfer, who just turned to the study of Buddist teachings, both your book and this film have helped me understand how to translate what I read about the practice into actually living it.
Old dog, new tricks; thank you Jaimal.
That was beautiful
Thankyou so much Jaimal and to everyone who contributed to making this. It is one of the most inspirational and honest bio/surf movies I have ever seen. There are so many lessons within and your story is one that really resonated with me.
So glad you enjoyed it! It was a labor of love for all involved. This comment means a lot.
Thank you for putting this up for all to see when they find it 🙏 🙌
Watched this a 100 times absolute masterpiece it was up on this channel last year. I believe
Thank you CREATON!
You have a gift my friend. I was hesitant to watch this documentary just thinking it was just another butt wiggling surfer trying to bring attention to himself in a world of... well you know. Instead at 52 years old you reminded me and taught me to get back to center and show peace, love and gratitude something we all can quickly forget in this world of push and shove! Thank you young man! May the fair winds constantly blow you home.
I watched this documentary about 2 years ago and it really moved me. I've spent more than an hour looking for it and I'm so glad I found it. Very inspiring and honest documentary, really enjoyed it
Thank you very much!
Amazing. Watched this on a rusty old oilrig in the middle of the north sea. All surfers can probably relate to your story and the constant journey to find ourselves. Beautiful.x
Thank you so much!
Beautiful, well done!
Thank you so much!
I enjoyed every minute of this. Thanks for sharing your stories with the world, Jaimal. And thanks for reminding us all that samsara is nirvana.

Thank you Mrs Invest! Appreciate you taking the time.
I was about to upload episode 50 of my vlog, a real opus for me about detoxing off opioids, and my computer crashed. Lost everything. Maybe i can get it back maybe not. Its 8am in Mexico and I poured myself a drink. Stumbled upon this beautiful documentary and Im moved to tears. Also inspired. I needed this more than you know gracias 🙏🏼

What’s the first song?
This doc struck a very deep chord. Do you have any suggested resources for someone who is looking to get more invested into meditation and zen in general?
Lovely documentary. Is that the city of ten thousand by Buddha's?
Yes, a magical place.
Such a beautiful place LofMB...
Any chance to get Spanish subs? Automatic subs are not so good and I have a friend who is into surf and buddhism and would love to see it but he doesn't speak english. Cheers
Great idea. We will look into it.
I’m so tired of society doing the same thing for work like a worker bee. I need to be free.
I love your documentary buddy
How did her afford the plane?
