Ah, the mid-winter blues. Colds, and flu, woolly sweaters and roiling dark grey skies.

But wait! A ray of sunshiney, salt-drenched, sandy bottomed sea side hope glimmers.

Surfing Magazine’s latest April issue, just out, has 9 glorious girl-filled pages of leaked sneak peek photos taken from behind the scenes of the making of its special Swim Issue, on stands 2 March. Behind the Tan Lines outtakes.

From its cover: ‘Hawaii: this is a {love} letter’, to the shoot in Malibu and Vieques, Puerto Rico, the crew of beach girl lovelies and talented photographer Lauren Ward snapped away with the latest bikinis and suits from hot new 2010 swim collections.

Kikidoll was featured in the glossy, page 106  and on its video.
