2) It’s just about surfing…

“I’m not going to wear the small bikinis. That’s not me. I’m going to take the more athletic approach,” Moore wrote in an open letter to Surfer Magazine in 2014.

In a world where women surfers are often forced to spend considerable time maintaining an image away from their surfing, Moore has always focused on her technique and training.

“I love surfing, so I want to inspire people through my surfing. I wear clothes. I’m sexy because I leave stuff to the imagination, and I let my surfing do the talking.”

3) Her (tee) totalling focus…

In line with her commitment to her physical fitness and putting surfing first, Moore isn’t exactly known as a party animal. In fact she had just one beer this year, and that was only when Mick Fanning and Steph Gilmore exerted enough peer pressure.

“Sometimes I don’t get to hang out with the girls that much and I was stoked to have Steph invite me up to the Snapper surf club,” she told the WSL after her win on the Gold Coast.

“And when I was up there Mick Fanning got the whole surf club chanting and I actually had a drink!” We’re not sure if she had another last night after her win, but no doubt the mocktails were flowing in Maui.

4) She was destined for surfing greatness…

Back in 2007, aged just 14, Moore was the youngest ever surfer to reach a final of a WCT event, when she came second in the Roxy Pro. Even by that stage she had won 11 NSSA junior titles.

Four years later at 18 she came third in her rookie year on the elite tour, whilst managing A-grades throughout her final senior year at school. Now at just 23, she has three world titles, and has at least a decade or more to secure a whole heap more.

7) Behind every good woman…

While Moore has always had immense family support from her parents, her dad for example travels with his daughter to all the events, being settled with her partner Luke Untermann who also accompanies her on tour has been a massive help.

“Watching a sunset with my boyfriend at Margaret River was one of the highlights of my year,” she wrote on her blog. “He’s someone that makes me really happy and has been a rock and punching bag.”

8) She is the best all-round surfer in the world…

“The best surfer should be able to perform in small waves, big waves, barreling waves, high-performance waves, beachbreaks and reef breaks,” Moore told Surfer recently.

No other surfer on the woman’s tour can surf all those conditions better than Moore. Her final score yesterday of 19.50, which included a perfect ten, showcased her talents in the powerful waves of Maui, but she is also one of the best aerialists on tour. In any conditions, big or small, Moore always bring her A-game.

9) She doesn’t do runner-ups…

Prior to this year since coming onto the World Championship Tour in 2011 Moore’s end of year results have read 3, 1, 3, 1, 3. She can now add another 1 to that arithmetic sequence. Maybe it’s better not having to endure the bitter pill of coming a close second.

In this we can look to Sally Fitzgibbons, who with her final appearance yesterday secured a record fifth runner up finish. Now that’s gotta hurt. The goal now for Moore is to see if she can defend a world title for the very first time.
