BioPatagonia Women's Surfing Ambassador Mary Osborne
Pro Surfer Mary Osborne started surfing at the age of 14. As the youngest of four, and the only girl, Mary's older brothers have had a huge influence on her surfing ability. Her three brothers are all extremely talented surfers and keeping up with them has obviously rubbed off on her. As a contest surfer, Osborne rides a longboard, but as a free surfer she'll ride anything... and ride it well.
Mary started surfing around the same time local surf shop owner, and former pro surfer, David Pu’u began pursuing a new career as a photographer. The two started working together and began creating beautiful modeling and surfing images and, as a result, Mary began pursuing her career as a professional surfer.
Mary has been featured in magazines such as Longboard, Surfing, Surfer, Surf News, The Surfer’s Path, Wahine, Surf Life for Women, Surfing Girl, Nalu, FHM, Entertainment Weekly, Brass, Women's Health, and Spin Magazine. She has also appeared as a host on Fox Sports Net’s “54321” and in numerous surf films including Multiple Personalities, Beneath the Surface, An Equatorial Convergence, The Endless Journey Continues, Sea Legs, Girls Rip, and Live. Mary also co-authored a book with Kia Afcari titled, Sister Surfer: A Woman’s Guide to Surfing with Bliss and Courage. The inspirational how-to book guides women through the process of learning how to surf, covering everything from how to conquer fear to how to wax a surfboard. Mary travels the world to surf
but still calls Ventura, California her home.
