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. 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 surfer's tale, this is a chronicle of finding meditative focus in the barrel of a wave and eternal truth in the great, salty blue.

one reviewer said they did not get the complete book so i was hesitant to buy this. yhe issue must have been fixed because ot appeared to be the whole book. I read this for a book club and really enjoyed it!

Thought provoking, metaphorical, real, engaging and delightful as well as humorous. Absolutely loved the content. Also loved the voice and delivery of the person that read the book. With one exception. Several Hawaiian words were miss pronounced. In honoring the Hawaiian culture it feels like they should be changed. Just the right thing to do… Perhaps… Being a Buddhist. Overall fantastic! I’ve recommended it to a few friends already.

Almost perfect!

the story was great but sadly lacking an ending... which in hindsight is perfect for a Buddhist book.

a decent short read

I read this book years ago so I knew I liked it. I wanted to read it again and this time ordered the audio version. The audio only plays the first part of the book. It's about a quarter of the whole book and that's it. I could'nt find a way to report this and get my money back. So I basically got ripped off and was left with having to spend more money to order a hard copy just so that I could finish the book. So disappointed in Amazon and Audible on this one!!
