From big waves to big stage

World renowned big wave surfer, Red Bull athlete, and keynote motivational speaker, Mark Mathews, will share his inspiring story and keynote Life Beyond Fear at the Noosa Festival of Surfing on Friday 11 March.

Mark said he was incredibly honoured to be able to participate in this year’s event as a speaker and share his story of how combatting fear can help you live a fulfilling and successful life.

“The Noosa Festival of Surfing is such an iconic event and, after all the delays thanks to Covid, I’m super excited to be able to finally get up on stage in front of a crowd for a face-to-face event and share my story,“ he said.

“I can’t wait to get up to Noosa and be surrounded by incredible surfing talent as well as those people who are looking to maximise their performance whether it be in sport, work or other aspects of their lives.

“I am now in a position where I can talk to people about my passion and I look forward to sharing my resilience techniques and empowering people to make the shift in their mindset of embracing fear and finding fulfillment in their lives,.“

Mark explained how his passion for public speaking continues to grow when he hears how his words have positively impacted others and helped them make decisions to better their lives.

“Even though getting on stage is frightening, public speaking is something that has been incredibly fulfilling compared to anything else I have experienced in my career, especially when I hear how I have inspired people to make positive changes in their life,“ he said.

Mark Mathews will be speaking at the J Theatre Noosa on Friday 11 March at 8pm. Tickets are just $55 per person, to secure your ticket visit mark-mathews-life-beyond-fear
