For more than 25 years, Carissa Moore has been showing us what it means to surf from the heart. With five world titles, an Olympic gold medal and years of milestones and accolades, the 31-year-old surfer recently announced that she will be stepping away from the WSL Championship Tour.
In this bonus episode of the Family Crest podcast, Carissa Moore shares how her approach to competition has evolved over the years, how the Olympic games allowed the surfers on Team USA to bond, and what she loves most about surfing (spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with winning).

Kai Lenny Finds Comfort on Big Waves

"As I drop into a big wave, and I'm at my most comfortable, I no longer feel fear, I see opportunity." —Kai Lenny
It’s wintertime in the Northern Hemisphere, and depending on whom you ask, that means different things. For most of us, that might mean snowy weather, holiday shopping or the NFL playoffs. For surfers, specifically adventurous ones, it means big waves. In this bonus episode, Kai Lenny explains how he feels surfing big waves is his purest form, how surfing helped him channel energy that had him “bouncing off of the walls” as a kid, and how bring a father makes him train harder.

Kolohe Andino grew up surrounded by pro surfers

"Early on from when I was a grom, [my dad] really saw that I enjoyed the beach life, surfing, and just the art of riding waves."
As a kid, Olympic surfer Kolohe Andino was surrounded by professional surfers. His dad, Dino Andino, came up in nascent era of professional surfing in the 1980s and worked in the surf industry thereafter. Kolohe's a part of a special cohort of current pros who as young kids showed immense talents out in the water. Kolohe’s earliest memories are of joining his dad at competitions around the world. Once Kolohe entered the pro circuit himself as a teenager, the expectations mounted—only recently has he been able to put less pressure on himself. In this bonus episode of the Family Crest podcast, Kolohe speaks about seeing the bigger picture in life, that there’s so much more to life than winning and losing, and how much he respects his dad’s legacy.
