Champion surfer Kai Otton explains how to keep sand out of your arse.

How does it feel to be our fashion icon this month?
It’s different. I guess I’m stoked.

You’ve done a bit of modelling for Insight clothing. What’s that like?
I don’t really do it that often. I get told to act natural, but it’s not the right “natural”, so I end up standing there laughing and smiling with 100 teeth out. I’m no oil painting, anyway.

Tell us about the “Dead Bird” modelling theory?
Yeah, that’s a funny one. A photographer told me one of the models always looks at the ground and pretends he’s looking at a dead bird to get the right expression.

What do bikinis mean to you?
I’ve got something about white bikinis. I just love them. Any girl who wears a white bikini catches my eye. I don’t know why. It looks good, especially if they’re tanned. But I definitely don’t have a problem with the other colours.

Any tips on how to keep sand out of your crack?
Contrary to what people may say, don’t wear sluggos, because they actually capture sand. And don’t get dumped in the big shore breaks. Then you’re sweet. A wetsuit’s probably best for keeping sand out but generally you’ll get sand if you get hammered in the breaks.
