Kevin Flanagan, VP of Marketing at Reef states, "One of the major highlights in Reef’s rich twenty-five year History is Miss Reef. Flanagan continues, "She has always been at the cornerstone of our brand capturing the exotic and inherent sensuality of the beach. This anniversary was the perfect time to pay homage to her, as well as give back to her loyal fans."
