Carissa Moore Claims Victory at Roxy Pro Gold Coast
The Roxy Pro Final saw Carissa Moore (HAW) battle Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) in an epic clash. Moore didn’t drop a heat, winning through each Round on her way to the Final. The win today is Moore’s 14th on the CT and her second victory on the Gold Coast, having previously won the event in 2011 on the way to her first World Title.
“It’s an amazing time for women’s surfing and it’s such an honor to be a part of that,” continued Moore. “This year is going to be insane and the girls are on fire. It’s special to watch the other girls surf and have them push you but at the same time be happy for them because as a sport you’re changing it. You’re going to leave it better for the next generation so I think we’re all really proud of that.”
