Ellie-Jean Coffey

Coffey won second place at the Junior World Surfing championships held in Panama in 2012.^[3][7] The surfer tried single fin board, traditional style at the Single fin classic in 2015, and "dominated" the competition, despite not having used one previously^[8] By 2017, Coffey was ranked 97th in the QS world rankings.^[9][10] She is also a model,^[11] Increased attention being drawn to her social media raised her profile, resulting in her getting a number of sponsorship deals from surf-related fashion companies, including Billabong,^[12] Von Zipper and SurfStitch^[5] She has also published her own softcore images via her own website^[5]

Coffey has claimed that the surfing competition environment is misogynistic. She gave up on entering competitions after 2017. She has stated that surf community and competition contains a lot of negativity and even abuse towards women, and the many years she had spent in it had affected her, to the point where she had sought therapy.^[13][14] She still surfs, but only recreationally, and not in competitions.^[15]
