How Mark Richard Lives is OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Mark Richards. A name that forever changed surfing. Known as "MR," he wasn’t just a surfer-he was a pioneer, a legend, and a revolutionary. From his humble beginnings in Newcastle, Australia, to dominating the world with four consecutive titles, Mark’s story is one of passion, innovation, and legacy.
Born in Newcastle, Australia, Mark’s exposure to surfing began at a young age. Inspired by his father, Ray Richards, who opened one of the first surf shops in Newcastle, Mark started riding waves at just six years old. His journey to becoming a four-time world champion wasn’t just about talent; it was about innovation. The twin-fin surfboard, a revolutionary design Mark helped perfect, transformed how surfing was done, inspiring generations to come.

I had the privilege of surfing with Mark and his son at the Mentawai Islands, Indonesia around 2000 his son accidentally dropped in on me, and Mark gracefully paddled over to me and apologised. I told him it was an honour to be dropped in on by the legend's son hahaha . He's a very humble guy and I was very lucky to see first hand how this "professional surfer" surfed well after his heyday.
