Vans Triple Crown of Surfing - North Shore, HI - DIGITAL - 2020

Refreshed And Fired Up, Carissa Moore Eyes A Fifth World Title | TOUGHEST ON TOUR

After rolling to her fourth World Title in 2019, Carissa Moore had plans to take 2020 off.

"If I learned anything about myself the past few years, it's that I am a 100%, all in person. I have dedicated the last ten years of my life to competing at the highest level and want to continue to do that well into my thirties," she explained on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B6UEapuhkh8​.

"This break is a press refresh so that I can come back to the tour happier and more excited than ever in 2021," she continued.

Of course, 2020 didn't go as anybody planned, but one of the small silver linings of the last 12 months for Moore was that she was able to stay home in Hawaii and reconnect with friends and family, the islands and her surfing. And when it was time to pull the jersey on last December, she was more than just refreshed. With her grace under pressure at Pipeline, she put the sport of surfing on her back and carried it forward.

Poised and confident, Moore put in a barrel-riding, barrier-breaking performance on the final day of the Roxy Pro. And while Tyler Wright edged her out in a close Final to win the event, Moore's surfing made a profound statement.

"These are the waves that I have grown up training in and have spent most of my life surfing," Moore told the WSL. "We haven't had a female presence on the North Shore of Oahu for over 10 years."

Sitting second on the leaderboard, Moore spent the first month of 2021 stacking clips for the first digital edition of the Vans Triple Crown, which she won handily.

"I have always dreamed of being able to have the opportunity to compete for a Vans Triple Crown," she explained. "Winning a Triple Crown means that you can handle Haleiwa, Sunset and Pipeline: three of the most challenging waves, not only on Oahu, but in the world."

Now, after handling three of the most challenging waves in the world, Moore will be forced to shift her focus to more tricky Australia conditions. Defending her fourth World Title while chasing her fifth, her well-honed competitive savvy is what will carry her through this leg of the Tour. Moore should also be supremely confident as she's won at both Newcastle and Margaret River in the past.

As far as the other two stops of the Aussie leg, she'll be in the same boat as most other Tour surfers when it comes to the left-handers at Narrabeen and Rottnest Island as they present a bit of an unknown. But Moore's backhand attack strong, powerful and pretty much the best in the business. She's already proven she can thrive in hollow, ledgy conditions, and the better the conditions the better she performs.

Throughout her career, Moore's successes have always been predicated on the strength of her mental game. When she's in her happy place and has a good board under her feet she's practically impossible to beat, and soon enough we'll see exactly how hungry she is for a fifth World Title.
