Her more recent accomplishments in June 2013 include coming 1st in the ASP Australasia Pro Junior Series Championship. Her mum, dad and siblings travelled around Australia on a bus When she recovered from the accident, they decided to sell their house in the city and move into a bus. In a recent interview with Caitlin Lawson of Surfing Magazine that her “childhood has been one of the best I could ever ask for.” When she was little, her mother was injured in a skateboarding accident. (Young enough to have to wear a floaty!) Ellie- Jean didm’t have the most conventional upbringing, but she says she wouldn’t have it any other way. She began riding doubles on a mal (long board) with her dad when she was very young.
Growing up close to the beach was definitely a sign that surfing would come naturally to her. Some of these accomplishments she never dreamed were possible. She has been surfing for 8 years and has many achievements under her belt. This is exceptional for a local Australian girl of only 18 years old.

She said the idea that all bisexual people enjoyed threesomes was a ‘stereotype’. ‘I seriously just think that what sucks about ”coming out” as bisexual is that people do automatically assume you have massive orgies and sleep with couples,’ Ms Coffey posted on Instagram.
The blonde took to social media to address the reason behind her outrage after revealing she was attracted to both men and women. In July last year Coffey was left ‘disgusted’ when a man in his 50s asked her to consider embarking on a ‘swinging throuple’ relationship.
