Carissa Moore secured a special place in sports history with her capture of the Olympics first women’s surfing gold medal. Her feat came as no surprise to Jim Kempton, president of the California Surf Museum in Oceanside.
“There couldn’t be a more perfect person to take the stand for the United States and Hawaii,” her home state, says the former editor-in-chief of Surfer magazine, who is a friend of Carissa and her father.
In addition to being recognized as the best woman surfer, Kempton says, “she is the epitome of the aloha spirit and what the Olympics stand for.”
