ESPN The Body Issue First Topless Shot Posted

(Surfer Claire Bevilacqua - credit ESPN The Mag/USA TODAY)

I’ve actually shot the SbB Girls at that exact location many times. El Matador Beach - far north side at low tide. Malibu. House in back tips it off. You can only reach that spot at low tide through a passageway through a massive rock.

USA TODAY’s Tom Weir posts the first semi-nude shot (Surfer Claire Bevilacqua) from ESPN The Magazine’s “The Body” Issue, due out Oct. 9.

Michael McCarthy also has a list of those who will be posing, including Joba Chamberlain. Nude.

Highlights: Adrian Peterson, Dwight Howard, Gina Carano, Randy Couture, Laird Hamilton, Manny Pacquio, Jessica Mendoza

Lowlights: Chamberlain, Serena Williams, Mark Martin(!), Christina Kim (something about her I find cute though.)

McCarthy also reports Tiger Woods turned them down and Danica Patrick was never asked. (How did that come up?)

Patrick though, as I reported yesterday, will make an appearance in the issue.

    I’ve seen this surfer chick before. It’s good to see she grew her arm back!

    Claire Bevilacqua is quality, but I’m still trying to figure out how you whiffed on the Danica thing?

    They said she wasn’t even asked? Really?
