Biography |
Malia Jones is a model and surfer from Hawaii. She is
credited with furthering interest of young girls in the
sport of surfing. Malia is of Hawaiian, Spanish and Filipino
descent.
Malia was born on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. Malia
began surfing at the age of three when her mother put her on
a surfboard. She began to surf competively in her early
teens and by the age of 15 she won the US Amateur Surfing
Championship. While competing, Surfing Magazine spotted her
and asked her to model and thus a second career was born.
Since then, she has appeared in over a dozen magazines,
including being named as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People
by People Magazine, and one of America's 10 Sexiest Athletes
by Esquire. Malia was also a consultant for the Disney movie
Lilo & Stitch. Although she is regarded as a swimsuit model,
Malia contends that she is a surfer first. In fact she will
not sign a modeling contract unless it contains a clause
stating she would never be away from a beach for more than
two weeks. |
