How a Big Wave Surfer Uses Technology

Big wave surfer Mark Healey grew up on Oahu's North Shore and is an all around waterman. He can hold his breath for over four minutes, free dives, spear fishes and enjoys hunting wild game. Firefox sat down to talk about technology and the role it plays in his day-to-day life.

"For me living what you love is, obiously

a great life philosophy, and that is what I really try to do in life."

"I like to be around wild things,

I am inquisitive, I like to know where things come from and

You know you get a lot of that from

I guess sourcing your own food

And a lot of things I like to do

aside from surfing, free-diving & spear fishing

I'm getting fish, or whether I'm bow hunting

in the mountains. I'm getting meat that way

There is a lot of people would think I'm like some wild mountain man, you know, I got a rat tail

You know I'm playing with sharks & surfing big waves and stuff

But what really facilitates this lifestyle

is technology.

And, I hate to admit it but I am strapped to my phone

and I am always checking the World Wide Weather Forcast

So at any given time, I know what every storm on earth

is doing, and at the same time I know where fish

migrations are happening and where it's actually going to be calm

wind and calm waves for spearfishing

so there is all these dynamics, that I wouldn't

be capable of, without technology.
