What can a big wave teach you about living a big life?

Sharing remarkable experiences from the world of professional surfing, Christo Hall offers a unique perspective on how we operate under pressure. Beyond the Break tells the story of a man finding his path in life—and the surf lessons along the way that shaped his attitude for entrepreneurial success.

From big waves in Hawaii to swimming with sharks in South Africa, Christo reveals an intimate glimpse inside the mindset and lifestyle of a pro surfer. His journey from sportsman to renowned business mentor interlaces stories of adrenaline-stoked competitions and misadventures in partying with insightful reflections.

From Christo's stories and practical advice, you'll discover how to handle your own inner critic; understand your limits and pick your battles; overcome failures and move forward to success; hone your mindset and boost your focus; and find your motivation and align your goals with your purpose.

With Beyond the Break, you'll find the inspirational stories and the tips and strategies you need to take your own adventures to next level—in surf, business, and life.
