All In! is Chris Bertish's 93 day voyage across the Atlantic Ocean by Stand Up Paddling. The book is an enjoyable quick read. The book is a combination of the personal story of Chris' record breaking Ocean crossing and a motivational story for readers.

I received this book as part of the LibraryThing Early Reviewers Program.
