This week on the show one of the worlds worlds most renowned big wave surfers and Australia's own, Mark Mathews. Mark has an incredible story - he grew up in Maroubra, 10kms south east from Sydney. As many of you may know Maroubra was made pretty famous back in the early 2000s from the Bra boys in which Mark was big part of.

He spoke about his journey growing up in a pretty tough neighbourhood, pushing the limits in and out of the water, and how he came to surf some of the biggest waves in the world.

He talks in depth about a massive moment in his life when he almost died surfing Shipsterns Bluff in Tasmania which took a massive toll on his health and confidence. The way he got himself back to his best is nothing short of amazing with a heap of incredible techniques to challenge your thoughts. Loved this chat with Mark and I’m sure you will too!
