NUMBER 1 WOMAN SURFER
WOMAN SURFER # 1 - IS CARISSA MOORE THE ONE AND ONLY?
Carissa Moore is the only woman to have won an ASP Women’s World Championship since Stephanie Gilmore’s rookie season… six years ago. When, after over half a decade, Steph reluctantly handed over the trophy at the awards ceremony, she told Carissa it was only on loan, and proceeded to take it back 365 days later.
At the start of her title run, Carissa played leading lady in Nike’s defining women’s surf film Leave a Message. Her performance was just that… a message, from Carissa to Steph. And to the rest of the world title contenders in waiting, that no matter how much style oozes out of their roundhouse cutbacks, no matter how hard they train to bust big air and no matter how much machismo they throw at pulling into waves of consequence, she knows what it takes to win.
...One day she will take that trophy back, and when she does, it’s going to take a coroner with a crowbar to pry it out of her cold, rigor mortised hands!
