Hawaii, home to the surf, the sea, and Lokelani McMichael
This 24-year-old Hawaiian surfer is making a splash as a model! She's already made the cover of Esquire magazine and we caught up with her posing for FHM in an ultra sexy swimsuit layout. But if you think all she has to offer is a hot body and pretty face, think again.

For Loke, modeling is really just a side gig. This pretty woman is really an ironman.
She says, "Triathlons are really a lifestyle for me. That in itself is really addicting."
Consisting of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and
a 26-mile marathon, most people wouldn't even attempt
to enter Hawaii's Ironman Triathalon once. Well, hold
on to your bike helmets, Loke's completed it a staggering
six years in a row!
She says, "I try to take that race one step at a time, otherwise I'm overwhelmed!"
To prepare for the annual race, Loke trains about 25 hours a week. Which doesn't leave too much free time for her modeling career. But Loke says that's ok, while being a fashion plate is great, she admits modeling is just how she pays the rent.
She says, "As long as it can help me maintain this lifestyle of what I love, the triathlon, than wow! That's the world. That's the greatest thing."
