MADI QUINN _PROFILE

OCEAN GYPSIE / SURFER / LIFEGUARD

Madi Quinn lives the endless Summer (literally).

You know that feeling as the days get shorter, the sand gets colder in the mornings and that off-shore wind burns your cheeks? Madi doesn’t like this feeling so she packs her bags and heads for mighty Destin Florida in the USA.

At 22 she’s lived a life on the sand and in the water at Dee Why beach in Sydney. It has a killer point break and you can catch Madi out there moving a board around like a natural girl of the sea. She has water skills many of us would die for. She’s been involved in Nippers (Surf Life Saving) and surfing since her dawn of time and is now a lifeguard in both Sydney and Florida.

Madi has an elaborate quiver of boards from a tiny 5’3 Dick Van Stralen twin fin to a 9’1 O’donnell longboard with faves her JS revolution and the old school single fin her brother found in the council clean up! (SCORE)
