I met Carissa a few years ago and despite that meeting lasted just a few minutes, she immediately gave me a good impression. And that impression just got confirmed the following times I saw her: a wonderful person, always ready for a smile, willing to spend time to have a little chat and never refusing to pose for a photo or signing an autograph. One of the strongest surfers of the ASP World Championship Tour, she's been working hard since the very beginning breaking records and winning a lot of events.
That hard work keeps paying back and after winning the ASP Women World Title in 2011, she's been crowned champ again this year, after winning in Portugal a few days ago.
Congrats, Carissa! You did it! Again!

Maybe because she's one of the first professional surfers I met, maybe because she's humble and hardworker, maybe because she's from Hawaii... Carissa Moore has always been one of my favorite athlets and I am very glad she won the title.
In her honor I am posting a selection... that was tough to pick, so in the end it turned out to be quite a big selection... a selection of shots taken during this year Vans US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, event that, by the way, saw Carissa as the winner!
