SURFLESSON WITH ELLIE-JEAN & HOLLY-SUE COFFEY

uuh yeah! we would have never dared to dream to meet billabong pro junior ellie-jean coffey and to get a surflesson by her personally. ellie-jean is one of the brightest stars of australian junior female surfing. rarely before we met such a natural and fun girl. she lives a dream.

 

ellie-jean was accompanied by her little sister holly-sue. they are both hailing from a family of surfers. for a long time the whole family was travelling around australia in a bus to catch the best waves and aim for the stars.

ellie-jean was so nice to borrow me her wetsuit. 

ellie-jean (with a serious facial expression): have you peed into it?

me: naturally not! 

ellie-jean: oh ok, it would have been no problem.

 

thanks to ellie-jean we know australian dollars are undestroyable. wheter you take them to water for surfing or try to burst.

we´d like to say thank you to all the people who made this day possible. we enjoyed the lesson with ellie-jean, holly-sue and their helpful dad jason and will never forget this wonderful day on manly beach.

FIELD OF DREAMS

today we got a fantastic preview on billabong´s winter collection 2011. the upcoming collection "field of dreams" will banish winter blues and comes along with a lot of variations of our beloved boyfriend jeans and bold pops of colour. anybody who expected bulky jackets and stockings went wrong. we are in australia, the continent of endless summer and the gipsy way of life.

 
besides the presentation we enjoyed this quite impressive view from the penthouse.

 

we met bec from the billabong campaign and think she´s a real fun girl. the girl on the left side is cristina from spanish teenie magazine ragazza.

 

and this is how legs of australian editors look like.
