We’re super pumped to welcome the epic Aussie grom Quincy Symonds (AKA The Flying Squirrel) to the Sun Bum family.
The 7-year-old, yes, 7-year-old, little ripper hails from Tweed Heads, New South Wales, where she’s been inspiring her community with her insane level of surfing and relentless spirit while fighting off some serious health issues from an early age. Quincy’s love of life and obsession with surfing has led to her being compared to the likes of Australian surfing legends Layne Beachley and Steph Gilmore. We don’t say we’re lucky to meet and partner with 7-year-olds very often, but in this case 7 is definitely our lucky number. Welcome to the family Quincy, SB

She’s only 14, but none of this is new to her. Not collecting medals. Not making grown-ass pro athletes jealous. Not the “did you see that?!” surprised faces in the crowd at global competitions like the 2019 USASA national championships in Colorado and last year’s Stab High Japan.
It started with lost bags and apparently the worst conditions in years, but we find Side Hits galore, some fun country hits, and find our rhythm with Parker Szumowski and Arthur Longo leading the charge. Dark, snow-ridden storm clouds are gathering over the steppes of Uzbekistan, and we are very much ready and waiting for it.
Navigating tropical surf trips in 2025 isn’t the easiest of affairs. It turns out that surfers really are everywhere. The search for tropical isolation is eternal.
Take a trip through the sunshine mind-state of legendary surf artist, Andy Davis.
