HONOLULU — In about seven months, Carissa Moore expects to be shredding the daunting waves at Tahiti’s Teahupo’o in her return to Olympic competition.
With that in mind, it will be a busy ramp-up over the first half of 2024 for Moore, the five-time World Surf League women’s champion from Hawaii who begins another WSL Championship Tour season in late January. In the Paris 2024 games in July, she’ll look to defend the gold medal she earned in the first-ever Olympic surfing competition at Tokyo 2020.
