This episode is one full of love! Olympic Gold medalist and 5X World Champion Carissa Moore and the incredibly talented mini-grom Leihani Zoric share a special mentorship and bond that runs deep through Indigenous culture and stretches beyond international borders. Sharing a mutual love of surfing and a connection through culture, their paths first crossed at the WSL Juraki Teams Challenge Event.
Carissa found a passion and purpose in supporting the next generation, building the Moore Aloha foundation to spread love and mentorship. Leihani's kindness and sense of aloha struck a chord with the 5X World Champ and since meeting, the two have shared a friendship that has seen Leihani travel to stay and surf with Carissa in Hawaii.
At different stages in their career, Carissa and Leihani inspire one another in various ways. In this episode, Carissa discusses the new chapter of her career as she enters motherhood, her visions for Moore Aloha, and her goals for the future in competitive surfing.
At 12 years old, Leihani is deeply connected to her Indigenous Australian heritage. With a big heart, strong surfing talent, and a mentor like Carissa Moore, Lei certainly has a bright future ahead of her!
