Whether on a surfboard or a skateboard, six-year-old Quincy Symonds (aka, the Flying Squirrel) is an impressive sight, but even more so when you realize that she’s had to fight from the very beginning just to stay alive.
Though she suffers from an adrenal insufficiency that kept her in the hospital more than at home in the first few years of her life, she took to the surf with her dad at the age of four, and hasn’t stopped since, adding skateboarding to her athletic repertoire when the waves got too rough.
Hey, you can’t keep a good woman down.
