Teenage surf star Carissa Moore leads the ASP World Tour rankings after earning her fourth elite career title in the Roxy Pro Gold Coast at Snapper Rocks...
Eighteen-year-old Moore took out fellow teenager, Tyler Wright, in the final with a narrow victory by 15.34 points to 14.37 and the Hawaiian was understandably delighted at her win in the opening event of the season.
"It’s been an amazing finish to the event and the waves were so good for us today,” Moore said. “If I didn’t have priority and hadn’t dropped in on Tyler (Wright) on that wave, then she probably would have gotten the score and won the heat. It’s been an incredible event for me and I’m excited for the year ahead.”
And the confident Moore is now looking ahead to potentially de-throning Stephanie Gilmore's grip on the world title.
"It’s still early in the season but the ASP Women’s World Title is definitely a goal,” she said. “I’m just happy to be surfing the way I am and getting results. I’m riding a Mayhem Matt Biolis shape. It’s a 5’9” and I love it, it’s kind of a magic board, so I’m stoked. Luckily I have a couple just like it so I’m trying to take care of them.”
