Felicity Palmateer

Felicity Palmateer, known as Flick, is an Australian professional surfer who competes at the World Surf League. She was born on 4 August 1992 in Perth, Western Australia, and grew up surfing the beaches of that coast with her father, Warrick, and two younger brothers. She entered her first surf contest at the age of 12, supported by parents who were both artists and who encouraged her to pursue art and surfing together. In 2015 she rode what was reported as the biggest wave ever ridden by a female Australian surfer, at Cowaramup Bombora off Margaret River, and in 2016 she was invited to the Pe'ahi Women's Challenge on Maui. Outside the water she competed on the television series Australian Survivor and became an ambassador for Dementia Australia.
