Athlete History

Jessi’s surfing is high above the rest. Strength, precision, determination, competitiveness, style and sportsmanship have moulded together to form a sculpture of not just an incredible surfer, but also an incredible sportswoman. Jessie perfectly depicts the surfie girl. Her long blonde hair and Hazel Green eyes are trademarks of her profession and also her friendly personality that is well-respected and loved by all.

From the first time Jessi entered the water, it was evident that she was to become a successful professional surfer. Jessie started surfing at the age of 10 and competed in her first event at 14 in which she finished 3rd. Jessi was introduced to the water by her aunty and has since had what can only be described as an extraordinary surfing career.

Jessi has been competing for the past three years and has had outstanding contest results to back up her outstanding surfing talent. In 2002 she won the N.S.W school titles and finished overall 2nd on the prestigious Australian ASP Junior Circuit. Jesi also dominated the Rusty Gromfest to win the under 16 division with powerful and on rail surfing.

This year Jessi has come of age and has absolutely blitzed her competition. She finished the Australian junior ratings in 3rd place only 175 points behind the winner. Jessie went out on a high by winning the last event of the year the Billabong Pro junior at Bells Beach. In a display that many saw as breaking new territory in girls surfing Jessi powered to victory in the 1.25-meter waves. Jessi scored a possible 17.75 out of 20 and left the three other finalists needing a combination of scores to win. The final placing’s were 1st Jessi Miley Dyer, 2nd Stephanie Gilmore, 3rd Nicola Atherton and 4th Sheridan Shields.

After winning the event Jessi said, “I’m just so happy. “I’ve always wanted to win at Bells and I can’t believe I have done it.” Jessi’s win was made even more spectacular by the fact she has three years left in the junior series.

In late August this year Jessi proved to the surfing world that she is one of the best junior surfers in the world and won the U/18 Quiksilver ISA World Junior surfing Championships in Durban, South Africa.

In similar breaking conditions to her home break, Jessi dominated the final, pulling off outrageous re-entries and slashing cutbacks in the steep bowl of the clean 3-foot left-hander waves.

From the start of the final Jessi made it clear that she was there to win. Scoring an 8.83 and a 7.5 Jessi left her opponents needing an incredible 16.34. After the final siren fellow finalist Amanda Clegg, Tory Titcomb and Stephanie Gilmore needed a combination of scores to try and overtake her.

Final placing’s were 1st Jessi Miley Dyer 16.34 (AUS), 2nd Amanda Clegg (Aus) 9.03 3rd Tory Titcomb (Haw) 5.27 4th Stephanie Gilmore (Aus) 4.90.

Also chosen to compete for the Australian tag team event, which is made up of 4 guys and one girl, Jessi had to surf 4 times on the final day, displaying a level of maturity and athleticism only seen in the higher ranks of professional sports. Amongst her hectic week of competition Jessi also had to study for her trial HSC that she sat for the following week.

Jessi finished the 2003 ASP Junior series in 3rd position only 150 points behind the winner. Her final position is made even more exceptional due to the fact that she has 3 more years on the Junior series.

In 2003 Jessi also finished year 12 scoring as amazing 97% in her HSC. She also has a monthly column in “Chick” surfing magazine where she comments on contest and surfing trips. With all Jessi’s commitments it’s a wonder she has time to compete, but she does with great ability and is one of the world’s hottest junior surfers.

In 2004 Jessi had a lot of sponsor commitments that overlapped with her junior competition schedule. Due to her commitments Jessi missed two major junior events which were crucial to her rating position. However despite her commitments Jessi still finished the year within the top 5 and also secured a good seed for the 2005 WQS.

In 2005 Jessi has had a fantastic start to her junior campaign by winning the 2nd event the Balin Pro Junior. This year she is focusing on winning the junior series and also qualifying for the 2006 WCT.
