It’s really good for Be The Influence to be involved with this event and for us surfers to spread a good message to all the kids.” Congratulations to Jordy, he surfed really well and I’m stoked for him. Then this one came through and he got it, did a nice air and he got the score. “He (Lawler) was trying to get me to catch all of these little waves and I was letting them go.

“I’ve had a good year, I got a 3rd in Newcastle and a 2nd here so I feel really good,” Duggan said. Duggan mixed airs and solid turns to get an early lead in the Final, but was unable to hold onto it and had to settle for second. Jack Duggan (Sunshine Coast, QLD/AUS) finished runner-up to Lawler and posted the best result of his ASP Pro Junior career. “My family is here and to win my first ASP event in front of them feels amazing! I’ve had such a good time in Coffs Harbour, the weather has been great and the waves are fun and now I’ve won the event and I’ll remember this forever.” In the Final Lawler was in second position with two minutes on the clock and was able to find a wave, executing a big turn and stylish air-reverse to move into the lead and claim his first ASP Pro Junior Series win. Jordan Lawler (Narrabeen, NSW/AUS) was one of the most exciting surfers to watch all weekend at the Be The Influence Surf Pro, launching massive airs and surfing with style and flow on both his backhand and forehand. I’m feeling good and ready for the ASP 6-Star World Tour events that are coming up in the US and Europe. I’m really happy to get back in competition mode because it had been a while. “At the start of the Final I had a flashback to the Newcastle Pro Junior final where Ellie-Jean (Coffey) and I matched up and she beat me, so I wanted to get her back and I was thinking ‘not again, this one is mine’. “I was lucky in the final to get some scores early because there was a long lull in the middle,” Van Dijk said.

She carried that form into the Final against Coffey, posting excellent scores courtesy of her razor sharp turns and gouges.

Nikki Van Dijk (Phillip Island, VIC/AUS) was in ominous form throughout the entire Be The Influence Surf Pro this week, posting six of the top ten wave scores in the women’s division. This win is big for my career, and will give me a good seed in the ASP 6-Star World Tour events next year.” It’s been a big week so I’m looking forward to going home and taking it easy for a while. “I just wanted to come and surf and have fun and that’s what I did and I ended up with the ASP Australasia Pro Junior Series Championship and a runner-up finish so I’m really happy. “I’m happy with this year’s performance I made the final at every event,” Coffey said. Coffey has made the final of all three ASP Australasia Pro Junior Series events this year, claiming a win at the season opener in Newcastle, and runner-up finishes in Tahiti and here at the Be The Influence Surf Pro. Ellie-Jean Coffey (Gold Coast, QLD/AUS) claimed the 2013 ASP Australasia Pro Junior Series Championship after she amassed enough points to overtake Stephanie Single (Lennox Head, NSW/AUS).
