What would you put on the line for what you believe in? For Chris Bertish, the answer is everything. ALL IN! In 2017 Chris became the first person ever to stand-up paddleboard across any ocean. Defying all odds, he paddled 7500 kilometers solo, unassisted and unsupported, for 93 days across the Atlantic Ocean, from Morocco, Africa to Antigua in the Caribbean.

ALL IN! | Chris Bertish

During three months at sea he was targeted by a great white shark, towed by a giant sea squid, capsized multiple times and surfed down 10-meter waves as challenging as anything he had faced in any Mavericks Big Wave Surfing Championships. Too many times he found himself hanging on the edge of his modified SUP for dear life.

He also become one with the elements, and ultimately succeeded in doing something everyone said was simply impossible. This is the story of his incredible journey. CHRIS BERTISH is a Big Wave Surfing Mavericks Champion, Stand-up Paddleboarding Guinness World Record Holder, speaker, conservationist, ocean pioneer and author of the book Stoked!, published in 2015.

Chris’s philosophy is one of positive change and living your greatest potential — being the best you can be, to make a difference, make an impact on others and the world around us. He shares this message in all his public talks and appearances globally. A dedicated All In! book forest will be planted at Platbos Forest Reserve in the Western Cape, with the income from book sales.

Like every successful sportsperson, team-leader, businessperson or entrepreneur, Chris Bertish knows that it’s the reasons why we do something that determine how we do it – or whether we do it at all. His mantra – Dream It. See it. Believe It. Achieve It – has led Chris to redefine his approach to success – not only across multiple sports, but also as a respected Author, Filmmaker and Businessman.
