Main Sponsors
My Main Sponsor for the past four years... Thanks for all the help Paul Canning. I love the brand and live everything O'Neill represents: Core passion for riding, appreciating, protecting and respecting the Ocean.
Thanks to Paige from Jim Beam, for seeing my struggle and understanding my passion and seeing my potential to realize my dreams. Thanks Paige! Thanks Jim Beam!
Greg, my brother and Candice have been amazing to help me get all over the world at short notice to achieve everything I believed I could. Thanks for the support brother and thanks True Blue, I couldn't have done it without you. You are an inspiration and I'm very proud & fortunate to have to have you as my brother.
Rob & Peter from Naish are the guys with more passion and drive than any guys I know. Thanks for all the help and keep the passion burning, you guys are the best!
Jeff Clark, a personal friend, almost like family and the best big wave board shaper on the planet. Thanks for helping me reach my goals with all those magic peaches over the years. Couldn't have done it without you!
Many thanks to Ryan & the team from Hurricane for taking me on board and helping me out with all my accessories, appreciate it. Many thanks to everyone who donated money to help me get over to California last year and realize a ten year long dream! Everyone for your small donations that helped me get overseas to compete and represent you, the sport of Surfing and South Africa. Without you I couldn't have done it. All of you who have helped and who've shown your support are listed below, whether it be big or small, it's all helped and because of this I am going to continue to have all your logo's on my boards for this year's big wave season in appreciation of your support, last year. Your support, I take with me, every wave I surf, I'll take you with me. Every late drop, every heaving barrel and every horrendous wipeout, you will be with me on my boards, under my feet and part my journey...Thanks to all of you, I appreciate more than you know. And a special thanks to the donor who asked me to put" CHRIS WOULD GO!" on my board... I had it in the centre of my deck of my board, the whole California Winter season so every time I put my head down to paddle for a wave, that's what I saw.. every wave I stroked into.. Thanks for the inspiration and support South Africa. Aloha and sincerest appreciation, Chris Bertish Donors-in no particular order
