Aloha listeners of PIpeline 2 Paradise Radio.  Some exciting news to pass on.  Our client SouthPacificSurfShop.com was contacted by the executive coordinator of ABC's Wifeswap.

Basically they are currently casting families whose ethnicities and cultures play a big part in their daily life.

Specifically, they are looking for a Hawaiian or Polynesian family that can teach another family about their island culture!

Wife Swap airs Friday nights at 8pm, but currently they are in re-runs and will be airing new episodes in 2010.  Families must have two parents and at least one child between the ages of 6-18 still living at home.  Families selected to appear on the show receive a $20,000 honorarium to compensate for lost wages while shooting.

Wife Swap is the series where two moms switch houses for six days and live in the shoes of the other woman. It's a great experience for any open-minded family!  It is a 10-12 day time commitment, and we shoot year round. 

INTERESTED?  Well don't waste any time.  E-mail me immediately for contact information.  The sooner you contact them, the better you chance to get selected.  Good luck.
