Mark has confronted fear in a way that many of us never do. As a professional Big Wave Surfer he has won 3 Oakley awards and ridden some of the biggest waves that have ever been ridden by anyone on the planet.

Whilst having confronted a lot of terrifying situations Mark is still not immune to the crippling effects of fear, but has tapped into simple strategies to make sure it doesn't stop him from doing what he loves. The power of breathe - good posture and a daily practice of gratitude amongst them.

This episode is a unique insight into the professional world of big wave surfer, and the personal challenges it can force you to face along the way. Mark has had his far share of substantial wipeouts and injuries along the way. In the episode we talk about his rehab from his latest injury and the drive to get back on the board.

Outside of surfing Mark is an engaging and professional key-note speaker sharing videos and images of what he has ridden that have to be seen to be believed.
