In this metaphysical odyssey an inquisitive surfer encounters the enticing world of Dylan and his friend Justine - a world that shreds his comfortable view of reality. Dylan creates the best sushi in Huntington Beach, serving it to unsuspecting customers while regaling them with bite sized pieces of his enlightening wisdom. Aficionados anticipating the pleasures of traditional sake and sashimi instead find themselves swallowing Illusion of Permanence sushi and Illusion of Ego handrolls. The Breaking Wave is a journey into the very heart of existence - a radical impermanence and emptiness that, while completely ordinary paradoxically allows us to experience the brilliance of existence. If you've ever been curious about the mystifying words and actions of the old taoist and zen masters, why not drop by The Breaking Wave and enjoy a bite sized morsel of the dominant cultural shift of our times - the merging of eastern and western thought.
