Press Release:
PRETTY GIRLS MAKE WAVES
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., March 30, 2012 – The month of April has April Fool’s and Earth Days. It also has Palm and Easter Sundays. Most importantly though, it has SURFING Magazine Swimsuit Issue Release Day, a secular holiday observed by all who appreciate beautiful women, the beach and finely crafted bikinis.
Which is to say, it is celebrated by everyone. Now in its third year as a stand-alone issue, the magazine was shot by world-famous photographer Michael Sterling Eaton, who applied a “Past, Present and Future” theme to the issue. Photographed on location in Catalina (past), Hawaii (present) and the Salton Sea (future), the SURFING Swimsuit Issue features seven stunning girls wearing 78 suits.
“I hope everyone enjoys seeing the magazine as much as I enjoyed making it,” says Eaton. “Working with the SURFING crew was the best part about putting it all together. Also, be on the look out for the digital version because we saved some of the best moments for the online world.”
Swimsuit Issue producer Tristin Akahoshi agrees. “This year’s issue is absolutely amazing!” says Akahoshi. “We were so fortunate to have an incredible crew and group of models that came together to create something that’s truly gorgeous. From the suits to the themes to the photography, I think we’ve made the best one yet.”
You might be saying, “Why should I believe them? They’re obviously biased.” And you’re right to be suspicious. There are a lot of dishonest people out there. These two, though, they’re top shelf. But you should find out for yourself that the product is legit.
Celebrate SURFING Magazine Swimsuit Issue Release Day by copping your copy at participating retailers (like surf shops) on April 3. And for those who are tech savvy and like extra photos, videos and behind-the-scene goodness, the app will soon be available for download at surfingmagazine.com/app. Waves, women, sand and swimwear — it’s what the holidays are all about.
