With another lay day on tap for the Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro in Brazil, there’s got to be something to keep the top 45 entertained in the harsh 65-degree winter weather. Due to the ASP World Tour schedule change this year, the Brazil contest is currently being run in Brazil’s winter instead of their summer - which means the beaches of Santa Catarina are missing their typical g-string clad crowds.

Why not have a bikini contest then? That’ll make up for the missing piece in the draw to Brazil - we’re surely not complaining. I wonder who Miss Bikini Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro’s favorite surfer is? Hopefully she got to meet him as part of her prize package…
