Connor O’Leary and Ellie-Jean Coffey Win the Ocean & Earth International Teenage Rampage
December 13th, 2009
Cronulla local Connor O’Leary was all class in winning the Under 16 Boys division of the Ocean & Earth International Teenage Rampage. For his win, O’Leary pocketed $500.00 and a limited edition Teenage Rampage Champions Ring.
(Cronulla, NSW – Sunday 13th December, 2009): Sun, surf, sand and not to mention the Ocean and Earth International Teenage Rampage was pumping at North Cronulla today as local Connor O’Leary (Cronulla, NSW) snuck home against fellow Cronulla surfer Rory Jenkins by just over one point.
Early on throughout the contest spectators were treated to some outstanding surfing performances by local ace Rory Jenkins (Cronulla, NSW) and Crescent Head’s (NSW) Ellie-Jean Coffey who both headed the race to maintain dominant lead positions on the Teenage Rampage leader board in their respective divisions.
But it was Jenkins’ mate O’Leary who produced what was needed to capture the blue ribbon division with an impressive display of the stylish surfing he has become known for.
O’Leary opened up with an impressive 9.50 in his first wave of the day to take a commanding lead in the 25 minute final.
“Opening with that wave (9.5) was such a confidence booster and I was ecstatic to get that first score on the board,” said O’Leary.
In second behind O’Leary was a gallant Jenkins who made a late charge towards the end of the heat but couldn’t pull off the upset.
“It’s so good what Ocean & Earth put on with the Teenage Rampage,” said O’Leary. “We get treated like the professionals with a Competitors Area and even a media launch!”
However Jenkins made sure that O’Leary didn’t have things all his way in the final by coming within a whisker of winning.
“I couldn’t let Connor (O’Leary) just have the win, it was tough out there and I did the best I could,” said Jenkins.
Novocastrian Jake Sylvester (Bar Beach, NSW) came in third with NSW South Coaster Matty King (Ulladulla, NSW) in fourth.
Ellie-Jean Coffey (Crescent Head, NSW) was in incredible form all weekend winning the Under 16 Girls Division of the Ocean and Earth International Teenage Rampage. Coffey also took home a bonus $500 cash for winning the ‘Dominelli Ford Wave of the Weekend Award’ following her perfect 10-point ride during the Semi Finals.
It was the unstoppable Ellie-Jean Coffey (Crescent Head, NSW), who took out the Under 16 Girls Division final. In second behind Coffey was Cody Klein (Kingscliff, NSW) with Emily Clapoudis (Port Macquarie, NSW) third and April Charles (Cronulla, NSW) fourth.
In the 13 Boys Division it was a clash of the ‘J’ names with Merewether’s (NSW) Jackson Baker taking the honours over Warilla’s (NSW) Josh Szele.
Baker clinched the title with an all or nothing final wave score of 8.67. In third was Jackson Coffey of Crescent Head (NSW) whilst fourth place went to Jack Germain (Lake Cathie, NSW).
The 13 Girls Division saw Holly-Sue Coffey (Crescent Head, NSW) add another trophy to the Coffey family trophy cabinet, winning the tight final from a fast finishing Laura Poncini (Moffat Beach, QLD) , with Cali McDonagh (North Curl Curl, NSW) in third and Renee Heazlewood (Moffat Beach, Qld) in fourth.
The ‘Dominelli Ford Wave of the Weekend’ was taken out by Ellie-Jean Coffey (Crescent Head, NSW) who once again who stood out and rose above the rest by posting a phenomenal 10-point ride out of a possible 10 in her semi-final.
“I saw the set coming and I needed a decent score. I took a chance, went for the wave and it paid off,” said Ellie-Jean. “I think I’m going to go shopping with the prize money and buy a pair of shoes, maybe two!”
Global CEO of Ocean & Earth, Paul Munten, was on hand for the entire event and is excited at the prospect of being involved in unearthing and developing Australia’s future surfing champions.
“Our competition aim has always been to deliver an event that provides a solid pathway and support for young and upcoming surfers to head towards the elite level of the sport,” said Munten.
“The Teenage Rampage series is all about the kids and providing a competition format that is unique to any other. We want to give each competitor every opportunity to improve their contest surfing and the Teenage Rampage format achieves this,” said Munten.
The Ocean & Earth International Teenage Rampage event is held all over the world including countries such as France, Japan and New Zealand promoting growth and development in the junior surfing ranks.
In conjunction with the event, Cancer Council NSW launched the new ‘Sun Sound’ campaign. The ‘Sun Sound’ is a special harmony produced by musician Ben Lee in a bid to encourage young people to protect their skin this summer.
“We know it’s easy to forget to protect your skin when you’re out having fun in the sun,” said Sofia Khayech of the Skin Cancer Prevention Unit, Cancer Council NSW. “We hope young people really get behind the ‘Sun Sound’ and take it on board as a reminder to protect themselves when they’re outside and hear the Sun Sound”.

Jarred’s G-Land Chronicles: Early Season
Indonesia is every surfers dream. With waves like Uluwatu, Padang Padang, Desert Point, Scar Reef, G-Land, I spent my teen years fantasizing about pulling into big forehand barrels and slicing my rails into the clean faces. In the mid 90’s I would watch the G-Land WCT Pro videos and freak out on how good the place was! Finally in 2003 I saved up the money and made my first ever trip to Bali & G-Land, and every year since progressively spent more and more time in Indo.
Last year, 2008, I booked a 4 and a half month trip, my longest yet, and after 6 weeks of hanging at Padang Padang getting countless pipes, I chanced upon scoring a job at G-Land Bobby’s Surf Camp (the best surf camp in G-Land)! Suddenly I was the surf guide at my favorite wave in the world.
This year I have just wrapped up a 6 month trip where I based myself in the magical world of G-Land for most of that time. Over the next month I am going to provide a series of photos and stories about my 2009 G-Land season. These chronicles now are early season, mostly in May, which had some real nice waves.
Arriving in G-Land on May 1st, the April crew informed me the waves hadn’t been all that consistent, plenty of offshores, but not the size. That all changed in May, in my first week there were 2 great clean 5-6ft Money Trees as well as super fun in between days. The water was about 28 degrees, almost too hot to even wear a wetsuit vest. The next couple of weeks there were plenty of good swells, and a good crew.
During mid-May we had a big crew of Aussie firefighters having a conference in Bobby’s camp, and then a bunch of lifeguards. It was good vibes in the water with mostly Aussies (and myself the Kiwi), sharing some sick warm water barrels.
May 25th the legendary Speedies really lit up. Super clean, 6-8ft sets on Launching Pads coming into doubling up 4-6ft Speedies, crew were getting pitted off their heads. Tide was super high for a few hours, water still beautiful, and it was certainly the climax to May! Check out the photos, they’re mostly of me surfing Speedies on May 25th, but also a few smaller fun Money Trees days. Clean, warm, early season.

Julian Wilson wins the Ocean & Earth Teenage Rampage
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 30 December, 2008 : - - Curl Curl, Sydney -- Former ISA World Junior Champion Julian Wilson (Coolum) made an impressive comeback from injury to win the premier U20 boys division of the Ocean and Earth International Teenage Rampage at Sydney's Curl Curl Beach today.
Wilson, who has not surfed a contest in four months due to a plaguing ankle injury, rose to the top of the 50-strong field that included nearly 20 top international competitors, to win Aus $2500 when he defeated ASP Australasia Pro Junior rated No. 2 surfer Heathe Joske (Nambucca Heads) in the final.
"This feels so good to come back with a win after so much time out of competition,"
"I'd been watching the conditions all day and with the tide going out I chose to sit on a different bank where I saw a few rights coming through,"
In the Boys U16 division it was the very stylish Matt Banting (Port Macquarie) who took top honors winning a hotly contested final over Jack Freestone (Coolangatta), Ryan Callinan (Merewether) and Max Ayshford (Maroubra).
Banting, who's refined contest savvy saw him sit patiently out the back waiting for only the best looking waves with the most scoring potential, sealed his victory with two impressive scores.
"I couldn't have asked for a better way to end the year," Banting said. "Jack (Freestone) and Ryan (Callinan) are always tough competition, I've competed against them all year and there were some heated exchanges between them in that heat. I'm just stoked it went my way today."
Freestone and Callinan went toe for toe for second place but it was the more critical surfing from Freestone that saw the Queenslander eclipse Callinan to finish in second.
Phillipa Anderson (Merewether) emerged as a firm standout in both the U20 and U16 Girls divisions where she took two consecutive first place finishes.
Anderson held off a strong charge from Japanese surfer Nao Oura in the U16's and despite an early lead from Oura it was the two radical rides from Anderson in the last few minutes that saw her seal her victory with Oura placing second, Brodie Doyle (Coolangatta) third and Skye Burgess fourth.
The U13 boys division saw some sensational surfing from overall winner Eli Steele (Moffat beach) who surfed well beyond his years to defeat O'Neil Massin (
The U13 Girls division was won by Kirsten Ogden (Crescent Heads) who topped Stephanie Single (Lennox Head), Sophie Bernard (Manly) and Cali McDonagh (Curl Curl).
