At just 18-years-old...Carissa Moore is currently sitting on top of the surfing world.

The Punahou alum is the number-one ranked woman on the ASP tour...and poised to possibly become the first female world champ from Hawaii in three decades.

Home for a visit between events...Moore let us catch-up with her for this edition of the 76 Premium profile.

Extreme power, maximum flare...supreme finesse.

Moore's uncompromising style on the waves has prompted some to suggest, awkwardly perhaps...that Moore...surfs, well...like a guy.

She's won 3 of the 5 world tour events this year...and with two events left...France in July and California in August....Moore can be the first female champ from the 808, since Margo Oberg in 1981.

What Moore can say...is she wears the Hawaii mantle, with pride.

Hoping to carry the torch on behalf of those who've gone before her.

Chances are Andy...and the rest of Hawaii...already are proud.

Moore can potentially clinch the World title at the Roxy Pro France...in mid-July.
