She’s always been our idea of what a model surfer should be: strong, tough, smart, and a rockin’ surfer. Now, it looks like the LA Times has discovered that there is more to Erica Hosseini “than meets the eye.”
As a player on the surfing scene, Hosseini has become part of the $7.5-billion surfing apparel industry — dominated by brands such as Quiksilver, Roxy, Hurley and O’Neill — which sells the lifestyle and vibe surrounding surfing just as aggressively as the sport itself. The appeal is based in no small part on women like Hosseini, who represent the fun, breezy and stylish aspects of the wave-riding lifestyle. . . “I love modeling,” Hosseini says. “My sponsors have been able to advertise me in not just a surf-action kind of way but also in a more all-around way,” she says, “and I’ve benefited from that. I’m super grateful.”
Yeah, behind hot always helps, doesn’t it?
