14-Year Old Ladybird Cops Brutal Fade On Superbank Screamer

“Everyone wrote me off.”

The amount of times this week I’ve heard that “Parko says the Snapper bank is 9/10” is, well, making me jealous.

Kelly spent his Margies (and maybe World Title) warm-up at the precisely placed sandbar, Kolohe jetted straight over after getting cut, and Occy is in the mix (seen here burning Slades.)

When the Superbank does it’s thing, chaos is as imminent as the endless tubes spamming your Insta feed.

Above, 14-year old Ladybird Quincy Symonds experiences a bit of both — and her doting mother snags da clip.

“Yes my mum got the clip,” Quincy says excitedly. “Lucky she didn’t miss it or stop filming, because everyone wrote me off.

That was my third wave of the afternoon, and I was in the water for about 8 hours that day. The guy who burned me didn’t apologize, he didn’t even get a chance to — he got washed in and I didn’t stick around, I went straight back out looking for another one.”
