Ellie-Jean Coffey is one of the hottest up and coming surfers right now. She finished second in the 2012 World Junior Surfing Championships and has since transitioned into the big leagues with aplomb.

Her Instagram feeds shows her as someone who enjoys the finer things in life – waves, skating, the beach and… kiwis. Summer is when Coffey’s photography will really make you envious showcasing her double life as a pro surfer and model.

She’s a staple of the Billabong team and comes from an extraordinary family. She grew up in a multi-million dollar home in Sydney only for her family to abandon it and their wealth to travel the country in a bus after her mother suffered a tragic accident. It was while exploring the Australian coast that she discovered her love of surfing.
