First Priority: A Father's Journey Raising World Champion Carissa Moore

by Christopher Moore, Jake Howard (Editor)

First Priority is the story of a father and daughter’s journey to the pinnacle of professional surfing. Growing up in Hawaii, Christopher Moore was bit by the surfing bug early, but he had no idea the extent to which the sport would take him until his daughter came along. Like her dad, Carissa took to the water at an early age. She immediately showed an amazing natural talent for surfing and before he knew it, Chris was taking his young daughter surfing nearly every single day. Enjoying the same beaches and reefs where surfing was invented hundreds of years ago, this love for wave riding blossomed into a professional career and today Carissa has become a world surfing champion three times over. This is the first-hand story of Chris and Carissa’s pursuit of greatness and their quest to claim the 2015 title.
