Former BFFs Heather Locklear and Denise Richards have each enjoyed watching the other's respective star status fall farther with each passing year, but the good news is they both share something in common to smile about. While it's not exactly an Emmy, they both look hot in bikinis. Heather's gone from starring in a hit primetime drama and being the object of many a male fantasy to her current role in a Lifetime movie about women over 40 or something. And Denise? Well, after impressing nearly every male on the planet with her pouty lips and lesbian pool antics in Wild Things, she earned the title of Mrs. Charlie Sheen (quite an honor, indeed). Now? She's filming some kind of reality show that no one cares about. What do we care about? Who looks better in their red bikinis, and who's the better surfer! Judge for yourselves after the jump:

While we must give props to Heather for looking far better in that red bikini than we'll ever dream of looking, it seems as though her surfing skills could use some help. Great boobs are one thing, but they don't tend to look so great while stuffed in a wet suit awkwardly bouncing around in the waves.

But Denise has no reason to fret. Sure, Heather looks better in her suit, but at least Denise can ride her board with ease (and even manage to stand up on it, no easy feat when carrying so much weight up top). In the end? It's a tie. Heather's bod is smashing, but Denise is a far better surfer girl.
