What would you risk for what you believe in?

In 2017, adventurer and extreme waterman Chris Bertish made history by becoming the first person to stand up paddleboard solo—and completely unsupported—across the Atlantic Ocean. Over 93 grueling days and harrowing nights, the former Mavericks big wave champion paddled 7,500 kilometers alone, from the coast of Morocco to the shores of Antigua in the Caribbean.

Now, in ALL IN! The Atlantic Standup Paddle Crossing, Bertish shares in riveting detail his incredible journey. From the meticulous preparation to his great personal sacrifices—including his home, his marriage, and his physical well being—Bertish lays bare what it took to achieve this seemingly impossible feat. In this mind-bending narrative, he recounts awe-inspiring encounters with marine life, battles with life-threatening storms, and the mental endurance it took to keep going, mile after mile.

More than just a story about human edurance, ALL IN! The Atlantic Standup Paddle Crossing is an epic tale of setting a vision for one's self, doing the work and creating a mindset that is unstoppable. This is the powerful true story of one man’s unshakable belief, relentless courage, and the vision that carried him into the record books—and straight into watersports legend.
