‘Flying Squirrel’ Quincy Symonds Is The Best 5-Year Old Skater & Surfer In The World

Quincy Symonds might just be the best 5-year-old girl surfer and skater in the world. Hailing from Australia’s Gold Coast and known as the Flying Squirrel, she has been riding waves and grinding rails for less than a year. “She started last March and totally loves surfing and especially surfing big waves,” her mum, Kim, told GrindTV.com.
 

“She asks for the set waves, not the little ones in between. Mick Fanning, Tom Carroll, and Ross Clarke Jones are her idols and she would love to surf Shipsterns, Cow Bombie, Maldives, and Fiji.”

In addition to her surfing skills, Symonds is also an accomplished skateboarder already dropping into 12-foot vert ramps. “Q started skating in May last year when the waves were too big for her to surf,” explains Kim. “She asked to go skate, and that is where the skating began.”
