Contributor Bio(s): Probert, Mark Oakley: - Mark Probert grew up in the infamous Welsh surfing village of Mumbles on the Gower peninsula. Mark began surfing at the age of twelve and could then only dream of surfing waves like those splashed up on the makeshift screen during surf club movie nights. Then, during the eighties, having finished his studies, Mark decided to travel to Asia to discover these waves for himself. He spent much of this time in Sri Lanka and on the mystical islands of Indonesia. Mark now works as a teacher and lives with his family in the wine producing Swan Valley in Western Australia. Mark still surfs whenever he can. |
