Mark Occhilupo is a true icon of surfing. He disappeared from competitive surfing for a decade, only to fight his way back from depression and addiction and win the 1999 world title aged 33.
In April 2025 he came back to Namotu for the first time in years to shoot a new campaign for his signature Billabong line. He had so much fun he even signed up as a coach!
The new 10 minute video from Billabong by is well worth a watch. Check it out below.
