Tia Blanco for Playboy

There’s nothing that quite jolts you out of bed first thing in the morning like the combination of the words: Tia, Blanco, and Playboy! Peering bleary one-eyed at a cracked LCD screen as soon as you wake up is the filthiest of habits. But, as demonstrated here, it has its advantages. Apart from being perhaps surfing’s most aesthetically blessed export, Tia also has serious surf props having won the ISA World Games this year. A star is well and truly born, we are now entering the age of Tia, and that’s not a bad thing by any means!
