You Gotta Win it to Ring it

April 1, 2013 was the Women's Rip curl Bell surfing competition. 20 year old Carissa Moore won over 19 year old Tyler Wright in 3-5 foot waves in front of Bells Beach. Moore opened the first heat with a score of 9.57 on her first wave. In a final exchange Moore and Wright battle it out for the last nail biting waves. Moore says “It wasn’t an easy heat,I was fortunate to get a good score to start, but Tyler (Wright) is really powerful and a really fierce competitor. If she got the waves, it was going to be a challenge. We had a really long lull during the heat and then a little flurry at the end.” This is Moore's second win in a row this season, previously winning the Western Australia last week. Moore is now a shoe in for the 2013 ASP Womens World Title victory and I know I will definitley be watching and cheering her on. Amongst Bethany Hamilton and Rob Kelly, Carissa Moore is a surf god to me and one of my inspirations as she went pro at such a young age. Winning Bells is such a great achievment and a dream that ever grom has. Interview with Carissa Moore after Bells Victory
