I think a massive round of applause is due for the 2oceansvibe Weathergirls featured in this year’s highly anticipated Sports Illustrated SWIMWEAR EDITION – including Elbe van der Merwe, Lyndall Jarvis and Genevieve Morton!

But there could only be one cover girl, and, although she has not yet been a 2oceansvibe Weather Girl, this year the prestigious accolade went to former Romanian high jumper, Catrinel Menghia..

Very kak  

I went to the launch party at HQ in Cape Town on Thursday (hosted by 2oceansvibe Character and 94.5FM DJ (3pm to 7pm drive show), Richard Hardiman (“Harders“).

It should be noted at this point that we ran into eTV weather man, Derek van Dam and it’s pretty much a FACT that he will be a 2oceansvibe Weathergirl in the near future.

Anyway, check out this release:
