Saltwater Buddha Surfs Costa Rican Blogs
Monday, January 26, 2009
Siri and I were just traveling in Costa Rica over the summer and had such a great time. I only wish I’d gotten to meet Ike in Jaco who writes the blog, Surfing in Costa Rica. Ike is down there following his dream and he did an awesome job capturing the essence of Saltwater [...]
Blame Us
Friday, January 23, 2009
So happy to finally see the huge San Francisco Magazine piece, Blame Us, on news stands today. My friends Justine Sharrock, Chris Smith, Bruce Kelley, Natasha Sarkisian, Nina Martin, Nan Wiener and I at worked so hard on this, talking to people inside and outside the Obama administration: from Google to Goodby Silverstein, Joe [...]
Dailystoke.com on Saltwater Buddha
Monday, January 19, 2009
I’m very honored that Saltwater Buddha was recently reviewed on the killer blog, Dailystoke.com. It’s probably the best review yet. Thanks guys!!! I love the site.
“Budhism. I don’t even know how to spell it, let alone know what Buddhism means.
Doesn’t matter. I learned about my own path to enlightenment and sageness by reading Jaimal Yogis’ [...]
Musica Surfica — a completely different kind of surf film
Friday, January 16, 2009
We don’t usually think of ocean waves and sound waves as having a lot in common. But in director Mick Sowry’s unique documentary Musica Surfica – winner of the New York Surf Film Festival – we learn how similar watching master surfers carve up pulses of saltwater is to watching master violinists create waves [...]
Alex Wade’s Review of Saltwater Buddha
Wednesday, January 14, 2009
Many thanks to Alex Wade, author of the truly awesome book Surf Nation, for writing this review of Saltwater Buddha.
“Saltwater Buddha. This book, by Jaimal Yogis, hasn’t been released yet in the UK, but make sure you get hold of a copy when it is. It’s a deceptively simple tale of a surfer’s quest [...]
Plastics — yes, it has gotten this bad
Saturday, January 10, 2009
While researching for an ocean writing class I’ll be teaching at 826 Valencia I came across these factoids on science.howstuffworks.com. Enough to make you rethink your bottled water choices:
“Plastic constitutes 90 percent of all trash floating in the world’s oceans [source: LA Times]. The United Nations Environment Program estimated in 2006 that every square mile [...]
Breath — a review
Friday, January 9, 2009
Breath is a masterfully written tale of what it means to live in extremes; and since most of us, in our own ways, do, it’s a tale about what it means to be alive.
I’m ashamed to say that I only heard of Tim Winton when a blogger recently wrote that Saltwater Buddha: a surfer’s quest [...]
Saltwater Buddha’s Hollywood Report Card
Monday, January 5, 2009
I was honored to see Saltwater Buddha reviewed on Ross Anthony’s Hollywood Report Card. Ross is an excellent source of reviews for all sorts of books and films. Here’s his eval:
Don’t let the author’s name fool you, this soul-searching novel is written by a home-grown West Coast American in a light, accessible and entertaining [...]
