The public got to 'vote' for their favourites through
Facebook. A panel of judges from Boss Models and
Zigzag then selected one winner, based on their portfolio of images, activity and public support.
"I feel really overwhelmed!" said Naude on being told she had won. "South Africa’s sexiest beach babe, wow! It's an amazing honour to be named
Miss Zag."
“We were blown away by the participation and entries we received for
Miss Zag,” said Will Bendix, editor of
Zigzag. “It was by no means an easy choice for the judges in the end, but Nicole is a deserved winner and an amazing ambassador for our brand.”
Along with the title, Nicole will appear on a reversible cover of the upcoming issue of
Zigzag and a full swimwear shoot on
www.zigzag.co.za. She also wins an all expenses paid holiday for two to Mozambique, a quiver of surfboards from legendary shaper Spider Murphy, and a wardrobe of clothes and swimwear from leading surf brands. Last but not least, the title secures Nicole a two-year modelling contract with Boss Models and an all expenses paid trip to Europe or New York to shoot her portfolio.
