While Stephanie Gilmore has claimed her victory at the Roxy Pro in Biarritz, Carissa Moore has just made ASP history as the youngest ever ASP Women’s World Champion – 18 years old! – clinching her maiden title at the Roxy Pro Biarritz. In only her second year competing amongst the world’s best, Moore has had a stellar run, making the Finals in every event thus far and scalping three wins along the way.
