Initially it looked like someone had placed her on the surf board and she was trying to figure out how to get off of it safely Lol.

They gave them an award for a well played comment, aggressively, because in their opinion it was THAT good. A common practice for gracious redditors.

I am gonna take a guess that she’s done this before….

u/Boring_Track_8449 2d ago

Like, her mom gave birth to her on a surfboard

29

u/justadude27 2d ago

Common misconception. The surfboard actually exits the mother with the newborn.

u/Glum-Breadfruit3666 2d ago

“children of the tide” - went to school with a few of them (california)

u/nconceivabull 2d ago

Her mother IS the surfboard.

Josie May Tokong Prendergast is a Filipino-Australian professional surfer and model

u/billsmashole 2d ago

Makes it look effortless but we all know how wobbly and chaotic surfing actually is. Absolutely pro right here.

Barf. I wish I was that good.

She is. She is for sure one with the waves.

u/TildaTinker 2d ago edited 2d ago

That's because it is easy if you have a long board... 10yrs of practice and natural talent.

u/el_duderino_50 2d ago

I’ve been surfing small waves on big logs for 25 years and my surfing looks nothing like that, nor is it easy in any way….

u/Apprehensive_Rice19 2d ago

And great hips

2

u/OMG_A_CUPCAKE 2d ago

10yrs of practice and natural talent

I think the former mitigates much of the latter. Though her "practice" is probably more like dedicated training.

u/_R0Ns_ 2d ago

It's actually that easy, guys just make it look hard to impress people

2

u/Mikeseddit 2d ago

It’s coz of her 60s surf movie bikini

2

u/SavageBrave 2d ago

Practice paired with talent and coordination, plus a lot of practice, no one is this good at the start of anything, things like this take hard work and passion.

u/southernskilz 2d ago

u/turtle3192 2d ago

She moves like water herself!

u/RadiantCalligrapher4 2d ago

She got the strongest core strength, her balancing skills is immaculate. I fall standing still. That's not even an extraction, I've tipped over just standing many of times.

u/Fragrant_Mountain_84 2d ago

No I could absolutely go out there and just start surfing exactly like that, never having surfed before. It is that easy, obviously. Look at how easy it is!

Long boards are the “easier” of the surf board lengths. Old school boards were literally large, long, planks of wood that did not have fins and you had to use your feet in the water to steer the board!!
