[edit] Biography
Jones was born in Loma Linda, California, although she returned to Kailua, Hawaii, at the age of two. Jones began to surf competitively in her early teens, and at age 15 won the girls division of the United States Amateur Surfing Championship. While competing, Surfing Magazine spotted her and asked her to model for their swimsuit issue, and thus a second career was born.
Since then, she has appeared on the cover of over a dozen magazines, and has been named one of the "50 Most Beautiful People" by People magazine, and one of America's "10 Sexiest Athletes" by Esquire. She has also been a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. Jones has done TV commercials for American Express, Capri Sun, Coca-Cola, Corona Beer, and VO5 shampoo.
Jones was a consultant for the Disney movie Lilo & Stitch.
She is married to the Aussie WCT Pro Surfer Luke Stedman.[1] Currently she divides her time between Hawaii, France, and Sydney, Australia, and designs a line of swimwear for Mambo Graphics sportswear.
