Punahou Student Wins Reef Hawaiian Pro
Friday, November 21st, 2008History was made on the North Shore of Oahu yesterday as 16 year old Carissa Moore won the first leg of the Vans Triple Crown.
The Punahou student took the Reef Hawaiian Pro, the women’s division, at Hale’iwa Ali’i Beach on Thursday. In a tight heat Carissa beat out seven time world champion Layne Beachley. Laura Enever a 17 year old from Australia, placed third, with North Shore’s Coco Ho also 17, coming in fourth. It was a young final as Layne Beachley was the oldest of the group.
An amazed Carissa said she was nervous out on the water and just trying to have fun.
