We have a very special episode for you today. We had the good fortune to be asked to host a live Q&A with the 5x WSL Women’s World Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist, Carissa Moore at PIlgrim Surf & Supply to help promote her new book with Rizzoli Publishing named Hawaii Gold. The book is stunning and is Carissa’s homage to her home islands of Hawaii. Our conversation explores her journey  as she reflects on her illustrious career, cultural roots in Hawaii, and community support through events, book launches, and advocacy work. We delve into Moore's achievements, gender equality views, mental health initiatives, and post-retirement projects, encapsulating a vivid portrayal of Moore's life beyond the waves. We hope you enjoy this very special episode of the Swell Season Podcast.
