Surfers ‘stoked’ as big wave legend Chris Bertish visits Scottburgh to promote book
Local surfers, ocean lovers and aspiring groms connected for this celebration of ocean conservation.
Ocean adventurer, big-wave surfer, author, inspirational speaker, and global changemaker, Chris Bertish received a warm welcome in Scottburgh during the festive season.
As part of the roadshows for his latest release Super Stoked!, Chris met with supporters at The Pipe Restaurant. The evening included a film documentary and talk by Chris, both of which were deeply inspiring, with his story transcending surfing and the ocean; captivating the crowd with his message of resilience, purpose, kindness and the courage to chase your dreams.

The event was well-supported by local surfers, ocean lovers and aspiring groms who connected for this celebration of ocean conservation. Held in partnership with the Ocean Festival, the launch also served as a platform to announce the official 2026 Ocean Festival dates, which will be held from May 1-3.
Thanks were extended to event hosts, The Pipe Restaurant, owned by local legends Catherine Le Pront – whose family is synonymous with surfing champions Louise, Luc and Leah Le Pront and Rachelle Walker of Flava’s Bakery. Super Stoked! is available countrywide.
