Being a veteran of the modeling industry since she was teenager for 23-years and counting, Ambrosio flashed an array of looks, from seductive to the classic beaming smile, while the cameras snapped away.
There were times when she struck a pose with the yellow surf board upright, and then there were moments when she grabbed ahold of it and walked along the beach looking like a surf pro.

At one point, with the surf board under her right arm, Ambrosio was encouraged to wander her way towards the the gorgeous ocean water, which she happily obliged.
Wanting to get a feel of the water temperature, she dropped the board on the sand and inched her feet into the water for a bit of frolicking.
After felling playful for a few moments, she then picked her board back up and walked up away from the ocean, only to be greeted by a woman holding a microphone pack, who looked to be part of the team shooting the advert.

Then it was back to work for some more standstill shots alongside her surf board. Bit not before workers had to adjust the gear that was set up in the sand to help get the lighting just right.
In keeping with a safety first mentality, all of the workers on the set wore protective masks over their mouths and noses amid the lingering and varied variants of COVID-19.
‘Growing up in Brazil, Gisele, Aline and I spent most of our summers together by the beach, immersed in the natural beauty of Florianopolis, known as ‘The Magic Island’, and spending almost every moment of the day in our swimwear,’ Ambrosio reveals on her Gal Floripa webpage, adding, ‘It makes sense that swimwear became like a second skin.’
