A long-time surfer Ian Borland said he almost fell off his board when he saw curvy babe Marama Kake past him at surf spot, Noosa beach.
"I've been surfing for almost 50 years and I have never seen anything like it. There must have been 100 guys out there and out she paddled bold as brass," a major newspaper quoted him as saying.
"The reaction was shock at first and then everyone thought it was quite funny. We were all intrigued."
The Courier Mail has named the naked surfer, who has "get naked, get sustainable" inscribed on her boards, as 32-year-old New Zealander Marama.
"I'm not out there to get everyone to look at me, I just love the sensation and simplicity of surfing in my 'sustainability suit'," Marama said.
"I cover up, or paddle away, if I am anywhere near children and have never had any trouble with lifeguards or authorities and I've been doing it for years in Australia and New Zealand," she added.
