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. 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.

Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural
world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing
writers.
For the first time, two of John Gierach's most popular fishing
books are collected in one volume--a double dose of delight for
longtime fans or first-time visitors to Gierach country.
As Gierach astutely observes in "Dances with Trout, ""Fly-fishing
is solitary, contemplative, misanthropic, scientific in some hands,
poetic in others, and laced with conflicting aesthetic
considerations. It's not even clear if catching fish is actually
the point." This observation might also describe Gierach's
writing--catching fish might be the subject, but most of the fun
and (mis)adventure comes well before that point. Whether it's
fishing close to home waters (Colorado) or farther afield (Alaska,
Scotland, Texas); ice-fishing, tournament fishing, or night
fishing; fishing for trout, salmon, carp, splake, or grayling;
fishing with familiar companions like A.K. Best or the enigmatic
"Zen master among fishing guides"; no detail of the fishing life is
too insignificant or too absurd for Gierach.
As he writes in "Another Lousy Day in Paradise, ""The real truth
about fly-fishing is, it is beautiful beyond description in almost
every way, and when a certain kind of person is confronted with a
certain kind of beauty, they are either saved or ruined for life,
or a little bit of both." So start reading and be saved--or
ruined--by Gierach's wonderful insights into the world around us.
