Best of luck to all the men and women (especially Ca- rissa Moore). I’ll have results posted on snnhawaii.com. By the way, just in case you did
The Olympic gold medalist brought surfing to the world at large and gave it a boost like no one else in history up to that point in time — and for even decades to come. Then, our recent summer Olympics solidified his dream to share aloha and surfing with the world. It’s a beautiful thing.
