The Ball and All

Mark Mathews - Big wave surfing legend and world renowned key note speaker joins us Live from the Byron Bay Golf Club in support of the Healthy Minds Club


Listen Later

This week on the Ball and All podcast we welcome Mark Mathews - big wave surfing legend and one of the most inspiring individuals this big island nation has ever produced.  For years Mark has battled his own inner demons, relating to fear and anxiety whilst at the same time, staring down some of the most ferocious waves on the planet - think Jaws, Shipsterns, Cyclops, The Right and pioneering the break affectionately known as Our's.  He has also endured and overcome some shocking injuries, which have pushed him to the brink both physically and mentally.   The day was a huge success raising awareness for men's mental health and raising 41k for the Healthy Minds Club.  A special thank you to all who donated prizes and everyone who aimed up on the day - in particularly Vaughan Blakey and Louis Muller from the Swellian's, who without their help and expertise we could never have pulled this off.

And if you're under any illusions as to just how much of a legend Mark is, then get this - he gave up his time, on his B'day in order to support what the Healthy Minds boys are doing and did it all free of charge - flat out we can't thank him enough.
