Amazing story of Quincy Symonds, who at just 6 years old is becoming a global phenomenon as a near-professional surfer and skater with skills many would envy!

She was born with a genetic condition that prevents her body from producing cortisol, meaning her first two years were spent mostly in hospital. Then one day at age 4, she discovered her father surfed every dawn and immediately joined him on the board.

What's more, she perfectly combines surfing and skateboarding - when she can't hit the waves, she spends days at the skate park performing all kinds of tricks, even dropping from 4-metre high walls! Could you do that?

She now trains with professional surf coach Anthony Pope, who's shaped world-class surfers like Stephanie Gilmore. He believes she has an outstanding future in the sport. How far will she go?
