Huzzzahs certainly all around.
There’s doing stuff weird and then there is doing stuff right and it must be stated, unequivocally, that Hawaii’s Carissa Moore has only ever operated via the latter. The 5x World Champion, and Olympic gold medalist, carries herself with pure grace. She competes fiercely, pushes herself doggedly and knew when, and how, it was time to step away from competing full time in order to focus on something/anything else.
The perfect surfer.
And, thus, the world rejoiced when, hours ago, Moore and husband Luke Untermann announced that the something/anything else will include raising a child. Taking to Instagram, Moore wrote, “Excited to catch the best wave of our lives… the swell arrives February 2025.”
Celebration, and tears, came from all corners of the surf world with Mick Fanning penning, “What!!! Amazing!! Congratulations to you and Luke. It’s the best journey you’ll ever go on.” Bethany Hamilton adding, “I’m legit crying. So happy for you and Luke. You both are going to be incredible parents. The best is yet to come.” Shane Dorian declaring his stoke, Brett Simpson making love eyes and the World Surf League pointing to the incredible and beautiful journey.
Huzzzahs certainly all around.

That baby for sure is going to come out after the spit!
18-20 years from now will be a very interesting time for pro surfing as Kelly, Riss, JJF, Robbo, Mick and a few others will all have had newborns within a 12 month period. It’ll be good to look back and see which kids pursued surfing. A side note on perspective with what Slater has done; In 20 yrs, Erin Brooks will be 37 yo. She would have to surf 15 more years competitively from that point to do what Slater did in his career. Love or hate him… that’s pretty mindblowing.
Only a parent knows the feeling!!
How long till she names the kid once born?
I don’t like knowing that our sweet Riss had the sex.
she looked the other way during
Bless her

Should make house of Toledo reconsider their passion when a pregnant lady drops into Chopes where their 2x champ failed, lol
Big respect & all the best the future 3
So she surfed Chopes while three months’ pregnant?
Do we need to call in Jen for the math?
probably, as I am incapable of counting nine months back from the due date
Typically guys are better at that math due to a fear of past transgressions
This kids gunna have a HS diploma before Kelly gets around to naming his kid
