How does it work?
After a brief immersion into the business of Big Wave Surfing, you and your team will take the reins of Mark’s career.
You’ll be faced with a series of real-life scenarios from Mark’s career. Each scenario will leave you with two options. As a team, you will make your decision, watch the outcomes, and then get your results.
Scores are based on marketing value, sponsorship satisfaction, and how well you function as a team.
In the ocean, you must stay hypersensitive to change, continually re-assessing conditions and refocusing goals and strategies. This creates a great environment to explore team dynamics, leadership, communication and the values that underpin your company’s success.

“The session was a fantastically engaging and fun way to connect the team and build a sense of common purpose. Mark was able to bring people from different functions and locations together as working groups.
The simulations took the team out of their comfort zone in a very relaxed and informal way. Informative, thought-provoking and a lot of fun. A highly recommended way of engaging people using a simulation that is not business-specific but very relevant and applicable to any team environment.”
