The Magic of Surfing and Nature, the love of becoming a Mum, Staying Healthy and Slowing Down with Professional Free Surfer Imogen Caldwell.
Imogen Caldwell is a professional free surfer and internationally renowned model. Born and raised on a sheep station in rural Western Australia, Imogen grew up ‘doing it all’– surfing, diving, fishing, mustering sheep and riding dirt bikes.
Imogen started surfing in her mid-teens alongside her father and three brothers. Once she tackled her first big wave at the remote Red Bluff, Imogen quickly showed signs of surfing greatness with an uncanny ability in big waves.
Extraordinarily grounded, Imogen credits her upbringing for shaping her to become the person she is today. From a young age, Imogen was taught how to live a sustainable and healthy lifestyle, learning how to live off the land and take care of her surroundings.
A true embodiment of the Australian lifestyle, Imogen is a dynamic young woman whose star is on the rise globally. Imogen’s fearless nature, determination and zest for life has led her to front global ambassador campaigns for the likes of O’Neill, OTIS Eyewear, Jayco Caravans and Swox Sunscreen.
Imogen has also worked with GoPro Australia, Little Bellies, JSHealth Vitamins, MaxiCosi, Channel Island Surfboards, Bec + Bridge and has been photographed by Australian photographer Simon Upton for the 2019 STM Hot List feature.
When she isn’t traveling the world, Imogen is based in a small fishing town in the Mid-West, where she lives with her fiancée cray fisherman and big wave surfer Cortney Brown , their adorable son Rambo and two illusive Siberian Huskies, Casper and Ghost. In between work commitments, the duo spends their time chasing waves & creating enviable, adventure-filled content for their clients and side business ‘Good Times DOWN UNDER’.
Imogen is currently based in Western Australia.
