Q&A with Josie Prendergast

Where were you born and raised?

I was born in Siargao Island. My mum is from there and dad from Australia. We moved to Byron bay when I was 4 and have been going back and fourth between two homes since.

When and how did you start surfing?

I caught my first wave at Broken Head when I was around 7. I started really getting into surfing at the age of 11 though. I was skating a lot and riding second hand smaller boards before getting on to a log.

Where is your go-to surf spot?

The Pass, Byron Bay, NSW, Australia

Please tell us about the surfboard you usually ride. Brand, shaper, dimensions, fin setup, etc.

If I’m logging, I’m on my Mctavish 9’5 nose rider. Otherwise on my 7’8 rincon but have been obsessed with my 7’8 super stock.  

Where are the surf spots you want to visit in the future that you've never been to?

Mexico and Africa.

Whats your favourite thing about Sonny Fragrance oil?

Smells like Summer!
