Carissa Moore is transcendent. A true revolutionary figure who has rewritten the book on women’s surfing with a power and seamlessness that just wasn’t there before she arrived. Personally, there isn’t another one of her fellow competitors who can touch her at the moment. Her accomplishments reach far and wide, and the only thing greater than her accolades is her humility. In point in fact, Carissa finished runner up at an ASP World Tour event when she was just 14 years old—14! What were you doing at 14?
Now, Carissa Moore is on the Gold Coast of Australia, beginning her 10-month-long mission to defend and seize her fourth world title. But before she did, she made a point to take a few flawless loops at a wave that has seen too many great days this year to count: Rincon. And from the looks of her surfing, a fourth world title is not only attainable, it’s expected.
