Night Rider: a world-first under extreme pressure

As a professional big wave surfer, Mark made history at Peʻahi, Maui. He surfed the notorious 40 to 50ft waves in complete darkness. This world-first achievement became known globally as Night Rider. It pushed the boundaries of what anyone thought possible. Moreover, it became a powerful case study in managing fear, stress and performance under extreme pressure.

Today, Mark translates those lessons into practical strategies for leaders and teams. His presentations are visually stunning, combining cinematic footage with authentic storytelling. Above all, they show how to think clearly and execute at the highest level when uncertainty, pressure and fear are present. His tools are trusted by the US Navy SEALs, the Australian SAS, Olympians and 11x world champion Kelly Slater.
