Jamie Mitchell’s sustainability documentary, Seven Crossings, is about finding hope, inspiration and action to make a better world.

He has created an amazing life around the oceans. He won the Molokai2Oahu Paddle Race 10 consecutive times, the most ever.

And then he switched to big wave surfing and became professional there, surfing some of the biggest waves in the world at Jaws, Nazare, Mavericks, Waimea.

But he saw that the way we are treating our oceans has to change.

We face great challenges.

He shares his inspiration for thinking about paddling the Channel Islands just off the coast of Southern California.
