Miss Reef Calendar Girls

by Robert Anthony

From tropical beaches to enchanting caves and waterfalls, Puerto Rico was chosen to host the 2012 Miss Reef Calendar for its wild beauty and rich diversity of landscape.

Puerto Rico has been a destination for surf travel since the late 50's and provides picturesque surf spots that many surfers dream about. The coffee table-style book contains iconic Miss Reef imagery captured by fashion photographer Nicholas Routzen as well as Puerto Rican resident Emiliano Gatica.

The Miss Reef Calendar is an annual tradition that sets out to capture the essence of the Reef Brand; exotic beach locations, mesmerizing women and truly iconic Reef imagery that has been treasured by the surfing community for the past 25 years.

See what Miss Reef is all about (2011):

The 2010 Miss Reef calendar, the first of this limited edition series, was photographed entirely in Northern Brazil. The second installment took us to a remote archipelago of islands strung out along the Caribbean coast of Panama for the 2011 version.
