Super Stoked!: An inspiring story about courage, determination and the power of dreams

This is the story of how a skinny little kid from Cape Town travelled halfway around the world, without 
sponsorship, to outwit, outsmart and outperform the world's best-paid professional athletes on a day that 
changed his life, and the sport of big-wave surfing, forever… 
Chris Bertish was the first South African to brave the monster waves of Mavericks, winning the Mavericks Big 
Wave Invitational surfing event in the biggest and heaviest waves ever recorded in the history of the sport. 
In Stoked! (2016) Chris shared how he pulled off death-defying antics time and again, overcame 
overwhelming obstacles, and manoeuvred around many random twists of fate to achieve his goals and live 
by the mantra: Dream it, See it, Believe it, Achieve it. But that was just the start of his journey. In this new 
updated edition - Super Stoked! - Chris brings us even more inspiration with the lessons learned through 
his incredible achievements in the decade since, including stand-up paddleboarding, solo and unassisted, 
for 93 days across the Atlantic Ocean from Africa to the Caribbean. 
If you want to set big goals and achieve them, this "little blue book of wisdom" is for you. It will show you how to harness the power of fear and create the mindset needed to succeed at anything and achieve even the seemingly impossible! This edge-of-your-seat story will help you clarify your goals, anticipate and adapt to change, build resilience, discipline and focus, and emerge triumphant through whatever challenge life 
throws at you. It will also leave you with a profound sense of why it is so important in life to be kind and pay 
it forward.
