Hi Kyla and welcome to the BOMBshell interview. This week we have a slightly different twist for our readers in that you and I actually went surfing together before we did the interview. What started out as perfect conditions in the morning deteriorated into some windswept madness in the afternoon, yet you made it look easy. You are obviously just a natural, are you good at all sports?

Yes, the blue bottles and wind were not ideal but we made the most of it and it was a lot of fun! I'm not really the sporty type but I enjoy the gym and beach a lot. And with a family full of surfers I've grown up around the beach so I'd say I'm pretty comfortable with the sea.

In our session you rode both a SUP and a longboard, which did you prefer and why?

I definitely enjoyed the longboard much more! I actually found it much easier to ride and I felt more in control when I was on it. I had a jol riding it and the pretty design on the board also really appealed to my girly side.

 

For a surfing bikini I look for one that most importantly fits well and is comfortable. The last thing you need when you are surfing is to worry about your cozzie falling off or being uncomfortable. Obviously it has to look good too, I'm really loving Kulu's  bright colours at the moment.

Ha ha, yes, it is really frustrating when people stereotype! And once they hear I'm studying accounting I get stereotyped as boring as well! I really don't fit either of those moulds so I just let my personality speak for itself. I'm honestly about getting to know someone before I make any judgement and that is all I expect in return. Most of the models I know are
actually really intelligent and studying degrees so the whole "dumb model" thing is just silly to me.

The Quik Pro kicks off this week in Australia, who is your money on?

I'm going to say Jordy Smith. He really is a talented guy and I'm all for supporting my country and especially my home town Durban.

Thanks Kyla, good luck with the studies and hope to see more of you on the beach soon.

Its is a pleasure:) I had a mad time and you'll definitely see me there more often!

Hi Mariana, welcome to theBOMBshell interview. We know that you are visiting us from Brazil, how does living in Cape Town compare to other places you've been all over the world?

I have been travelling for few years already and the day I arrived in Cape Town was just amazing, it is without doubt one of the best cities in the world. I'm in love with it!

All the Brazilians we know have a reputation for being wild dancers, are you also a keen dancer?

It's true as a nation we love to dance, it's always such a festive and fun way to have a party. Personally I love to dance.

 Lets talk beaches for a moment, are you a beach girl and if so where do you hang out?

I'm always at the beach, most of the time I head to Camps Bay or Bakoven. I enjoy just being near the sea.

Hi Simone and welcome to theBOMBshell interview. We know you are a local Cape Town girl who loves the beach, but more than that you always end up swimming when you go to one of your favourites. How on earth do you manage to swim in such cold water?

Hi All, thank you for choosing me as a BOMBshell. I’m going to be completely honest here, I love bumming under the sun and then going into the water to cool off, however so many times I get knocked over by waves and end up going under water unintentionally which has caused me to just dive in and suck it up to save myself the embarrassment!!

We at theBOMBsurf are on a bit of a mission and we need your help. We are attempting to make our lineups more beautiful, one gorgeous girl at a time. If we hooked up a surfing lesson for you and a mate with Ant from Learn 2 Surf in Muizenberg would you help us with our quest?

Simone: Of course I would!! I have been wanting to learn to surf for ages now, so this is my opportunity. Thank you Ant – I’m sure that even after this lesson you will see me at more lessons,  the ocean is just TOO gorgeous to stay out of!!

Hi Sheree, when we spoke earlier you were boarding a flight to Uruguay is that correct, what were you going to do there?

Hey John, really sorry that I had to rush you off as you know Im on my way to Uruguay. I have been given this awesome opportunity to represent SA at Miss Atlantico International 2012, my sister is the current title holder and I'm hoping to do the same. We have been flying for 2 days...it was really nice to hear a South African voice.

Are you a beach girl and have you ever tried surfing?

I love the beach and have attempted to surf once in Durban as part of the Salt Water Girl experience, unfortunately I found myself more below the waves than above them. I did however manage to stand on the board once :)
