As a professional big wave surfer, Mark made history surfing the notorious 40–50ft waves at Peʻahi, Maui in complete darkness.

Mark Visser blew me away. The sheer magnitude of what he’s done & is still doing is awe-inspiring. His message of ‘having a mission, making a plan & having the right people around you to execute’ really struck a chord.
Having Mark share his insight on the importance of mental resilience and meticulous planning has been a huge motivation to all of us. We are so very grateful for all of Mark’s support and to have had him with us in preparation for the Olympics.
His story was very compelling with the audience very engaged. We enjoyed the interactive activity as it broke up the presentation.
