The Sup Crossing

My name is Chris Bertish and I am putting together a project so unique, a  feat so daring,  a journey of such immense proportions, that most people would believe it to be… IMPOSSIBLE!

 

To Stand Up Paddle across the Atlantic Ocean, from Dakar Senegal to Caicim in Brazil, on a Stand up Paddle board.

 

This project is will take place between, Dec 2013 - March 2014 and take just over two months in total, paddling the equivalent of over a marathon a day, for sixty five days straight.

 

"Help me show the world what's possible...Impossible's not a word, its a challenge! " Chris Bertish
