Finesse and Strength on the Waves with @rissmoore10

To see more photos of the life of surfing star Carissa Moore, follow @rissmoore10 on Instagram.

Surfers are typically either powerful or graceful. Carissa Moore (@rissmoore10) is both, and perhaps that’s why she’s on the verge of winning her third World Surf League championship title. “I try to find a balance between being radical and progressive and smooth and graceful,” Carissa says. The 23-year-old will call on all these strengths over the next two weeks as she vies for the gold at the Target Maui Pro in Honolua Bay, Maui, the final event of the 2015 Women’s Championship Tour.

Born in Honolulu, Carissa learned to surf not long after she learned to walk. Her father is an avid swimmer and wanted to share his love of the ocean with her. She was instantly hooked and hasn’t let go since. “When I am riding a wave, I feel the most at peace with myself,” she says. “Surfing will always be a part of my life. The ocean will always keep me coming back for more.”
