Surfing made its debut at the 2020 Olympics, and at 29 years old, Carissa Moore became the sport\\u2019s first-ever gold medalist. I\\u2019m catching up with the Hawaiian native and 5-time world champion for today\\u2019s episode, and let me tell you \\u2014 she\\u2019s one of the kindest, brightest humans. We talk all about her backstory, how she started surfing with her dad at age 5, and the sacrifices she\\u2019s made along the way to make a name for herself in her sport. Plus: The #hurdlemoments she\\u2019s braved, including a 3-year low point where she needed to re-articulate her why, how she navigated the COVID-19 pandemic, and what an average week of workouts looks like when she\\u2019s training full-time.
