Mark Visser

Mark Robert Visser, born on 9 March 1983, is an Australian professional big wave surfer, author, keynote speaker and ocean adventurer. He is best known for being the first person to surf Jaws, the Maui break regarded as Hawaii's most dangerous wave, at night, which he did in 2011. That ride was documented in a film called Night Rider. Beyond competition and chasing large swells, Visser works as an author and speaker, presenting his experiences in the ocean to audiences.
