We have a very special episode for you today. We had the good fortune to be asked to host a live Q&A with the 5x WSL Women’s World Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist, Carissa Moore at PIlgrim Surf & Supply to help promote her new book with Rizzoli Publishing named Hawaii Gold. The book is stunning and is Carissa’s homage to her home islands of Hawaii. Our conversation explores her journey  as she reflects on her illustrious career, cultural roots in Hawaii, and community support through events, book launches, and advocacy work. We delve into Moore's achievements, gender equality views, mental health initiatives, and post-retirement projects, encapsulating a vivid portrayal of Moore's life beyond the waves. We hope you enjoy this very special episode of the Swell Season Podcast.  For more information on Carissa's Book, Hawaii Gold, you can purchase a copy here: Hawaii Gold You can follow Carissa here on Instagram at @rissmoore10 To Learn more about the Moore Aloha Non-Profit you can go to www.moorealoha.com and follow at @moorealoha Special thanks to Martynka & Don from Rizzoli Books, Chris from Pilgrim Surf & Supply, & Andy Wang for the music and good vibes.  The Swell Season Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network. www.swellseasonsurfradio.com Music: Band: Gabby Pahinui Song: Wahine U'i Album: Gabby Pahinui Hawaiian Band, Vol. 1 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/swell-season--3483504/support.
