O'Donnell, Phyllis (1937—)
Australian surfer. Born in New South Wales, in 1937.
Phyllis O'Donnell took up the sport of surfing as a weekend activity while living in Sydney, then became serious about it after a move to the Gold Coast. At the time, she was one of only a handful of women surfers of note. O'Donnell won her first women's title at the Australian invitational held at Bondi in 1963. The following year, she won both the Australian championship and the first Women's World championship, held at Manly Beach. She won the Australian women's title again in 1965. Between 1964 and 1973, O'Donnell was Queensland's women's champion eight times, and during that period also represented Australia and defended her title in California and Hawaii.
