About Jaimal

Jaimal Yogis is obsessed with all things pelagic: starfish, lunar tides, surfing, and sea monsters. On land, he enjoys sketching, strong coffee, fantasy novels, snowy mountains, Warriors basketball, and writing. His first book, a memoir of surf travels called Saltwater Buddha, is currently being made into a documentary film. More of Jaimal’s ramblings can be found in The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Surfers Journal, San Francisco Magazine, or www.jaimalyogis.com.
