00:00Who wants to dance? Who wants to slow dance?
00:05We're back, rabbit down the hole, rabbit down the hole.
00:13I want a chance...
00:14Why is she smiling, you may ask?
00:16Yeah, she loves flying down long walls in pink suits,
00:19but this specific smile has something more.
00:22It's filled with joy, the joy that comes from a party wave,
00:25a family wave, a wave with Luke.
00:27Lipstick like dynamite.
00:30Those are like my favorite moments of surfing,
00:33is getting to share what I love with the people I love.
00:35We even had a party wave, baby.
00:37That's special, that's what I live for.
00:39Family is everything to me.
00:42I wouldn't be where I am today without them.
00:47Family is love, family is home.
00:49I'm so lucky to have so many people that love and care
00:53and are behind me and are there win or lose
00:56ups, downs, happy, sad.
00:59Like, they're always there.
01:01And they're steadfast.
01:03And, um, yeah.
01:06Family is everything.
01:08You recorded it!
01:09You already tracked it a little bit.
01:10No way!
01:11So you just can stand there?
01:12I'll just pretend.
01:13Taking time for others is important to me, selfishly,
01:17because it feels really good.
01:18It makes me happy.
01:19Um, and there is a hope that if I take time for others,
01:22that hopefully that will spark something in that person
01:25to do that for somebody else.
01:27That's what people will remember, is how you make them feel.
01:43It was cool because, um, I read a quote today when I was on a walk on one of the
01:48benches,
01:48and it says, life ends, but love is forever.
01:51And I feel like those little random acts of kindnesses are little bits of love.
01:55So, um, that's my goal.
01:58Oh no, I'm done!
02:04Whoop!
02:05That was Groovy!
02:06Great job!
02:07Great job!
02:09High five!
02:10Yeah!
02:13Light key.
02:14Okay.
02:14I'll do it again.
02:15How do I start again?
02:16I say...
02:17France was epic.
02:19Chris's performances were amazing.
02:21She's number one in the world.
02:22She has a chance to win in Portugal.
02:25Unfortunately for her, it did not go well.
02:28Lakey Peterson got some revenge.
02:30Portugal was a lot.
02:33It has now pushed the world title all to Maui.
02:36Three girls, all from the USA, fighting for not only the world title, but Olympic birth.
02:42We're here.
02:43We're in the thick of it.
02:44The reality is, world title scenarios, I can't pretend that it's not going to happen.
02:47Like, I'm not putting expectations on myself.
02:50Of course, I would love to win it at the end of the year.
02:52Ultimately want to, like, focus on my personal goals.
02:55That's what's most important to me.
02:57I think if you're having fun and you're enjoying what you're doing, that's when the magic happens.
03:03That's when other people can feel the magic.
03:05Pat shrugs to the camera and makes for some decent entertainment.
03:09I got my teeth now, memories.
03:11It seems to me that when you give authentically, you receive authentically.
03:15And on the eve of the showdown, they all came to support.
03:18By all, I mean Luke and Tuffy sitting quietly on the cliff.
03:21To Mitch, Bob, Leigh, Brandon, Dad.
03:24Always looking nervous and not much of a hugger.
03:27Greg, sis, mom, nana, pops, gran, Josh, the more aloha crew.
03:32The entire crew, friends and family from across the globe.
03:35A cliffside littered with love.
03:37They came to see Riss rise, and rise she did.
03:40Here's the reason why Carissa Moore is such a favorite here.
03:43Since the event came back on the schedule in 2014, she's only missed the final once.
03:48You kind of get an idea now of what Peterson and Marks are up against in this final event of
03:53the season.
04:12I mean, it kind of like chandeliered.
04:14I was like, it'll open up, it'll open up.
04:16And it opened up.
04:17So I'm stuck.
04:19I don't know anywhere like that.
04:23You're starting to realize it's time for the Lakey Peterson, Tyler Wright.
04:26He's seeing the impact of what that really means for the entire season.
04:30Tyler Wright looking pretty strong here this morning.
04:33Beautiful drive off the bottom.
04:35Little wave on the way.
04:37Lakey Peterson with priority.
04:39So a one maneuver wave for Lakey.
04:41Tyler Wright pushing hard with that rail work into a second turn.
04:45She stomps it.
04:46Just at the very end of the heap.
04:48Little decisions with priority.
04:50Taking the wrong wave.
04:51Starting to show the nerves and the drama and the pressure of that moment.
04:56Tyler Wright plays the ultimate spoiler in the title race.
05:01Lakey Peterson knocked out.
05:04Thought I would step in here.
05:06To avoid any confusion, Lakey being knocked out means that Carissa and Caroline Marks qualify.
05:12It's definitely, I wrote this goal to make the Olympics back last year.
05:15After J-Bang.
05:17After J-Bang.
05:18And...
05:19I'm so still.
05:21I don't even...
05:23Both.
05:26Okay, I'm done.
05:27You're not done yet, Riss.
05:29Two contenders remain.
05:30This next heat has considerable implications.
05:34Just trying to stay calm.
05:35If Stephanie can defeat young Caroline Marks, Carissa Kainani-Moore, Riss, will win her fourth world title.
05:42Ladies, let the drama unfold.
05:45And Caroline Marks looking to get started right now.
05:48Nice clean backside snap of the pocket.
05:51Hard off the bottom.
05:53Big section.
05:54Tags it.
05:55And takes a crazy wipeout.
05:57Nice hack in the pocket for Gilmore.
06:00Digs into a searing card.
06:036-7-3.
06:04Just leaving the door slightly open for Caroline Marks on a bomb out the back.
06:0827 seconds, babe.
06:11Waiting for scores though?
06:12Still waiting for scores.
06:13Right?
06:14Zero...
06:15Zero seconds.
06:18Caroline needs a what?
06:198.
06:20She needs an 8.
06:21They're really deliberate.
06:22I don't like...
06:24Waiting on that number.
06:26Chasing down a big score.
06:28It is not enough.
06:2915.
06:30She got a 6.
07:00I got 19 now memories.
07:04There's no better place to win a world title than home in front of your family and friends and in
07:08home waters.
07:09You know, it came full circle for me.
07:11We've had a mighty heart to show.
07:15In the sun.
07:19Trouble beating fires while the hell.
07:23Emotional reason.
07:26What's this one?
07:277?
07:308?
07:31We'll keep with the purple theme.
07:32There's 10.
07:349-10.
07:35Thanks for holding my lays, girls.
07:37Okay.
07:37Oh, wait.
07:38Hold on.
07:39I've...
07:40Five...
07:40Four more to give you.
07:42Ugh.
07:42I could be fast for a better end to my year.
07:45I mean...
07:48Wow.
07:49It was so much like...
07:51It was a good day.
07:52I...
07:53You will not be able to wipe this smile off my face.
07:55Like...
07:56For a really long time.
07:59It feels weird, kinda.
08:08I think there's just more surfing to do, you know?
08:11Love is ultimately all of our biggest goals in life.
08:15It's to find...
08:16Find love.
08:17To share love.
08:18To create that human connection.
08:20And...
08:21I feel very blessed that I...
08:22I have a life surrounded with love.
08:24And I have an incredible husband.
08:26Like...
08:26I found the person that wants to spend the rest of his life with me.
08:29So that's pretty awesome.
08:31Um...
08:31But then...
08:32Just being able to...
08:34Yeah.
08:35Share that love with other people, too.
08:37Have a dream.
08:39Be authentic.
08:40And fill it with love.
08:42Remind us, Riss.
08:43What was your dream again?
08:45What I wanna be when I grow up is a pro surfer.
08:48I don't really wanna surf...
08:49I don't wanna be a big wave surfer, but I wanna be like...
08:52Um...
08:54Like...
08:54Megan Abubo.
08:56And like...
08:56Take those kind of surf trips where you have...
08:59Go like to Fiji.
09:01And...
09:01Um...
09:02Australia.
09:03And that's...
09:04That's really what I wanna do.
09:05Just enjoy surfing and...
09:07Go surfing around the world with some of the girls.
09:10Well...
09:11Okay then.
09:12Cue the slow motion footage.
09:35Cause you...
09:43You mean...
09:46That's all.
09:47A little more...
09:47Oh, Oh.
09:47Oh, Oh.
09:49Oh.
09:50Oh, oh, oh.
09:57Oh, oh.
10:27Thank you!
10:31For listening again, or for the first time, or for the last time, we share this moment, and I am
10:41grateful for this.
10:43I was born to rage, for my father's pain, with my brother's style, for my mother's reign.
10:59We could use some hope, we must learn to cope, so be good with goodbyes, so be good with goodbyes!
11:15All right now!
11:17People, people, have you heard the good news?
11:21There's people, and people, they're running just like you.
11:25Today, I'll say, it's all that matters for now, for you and I.
11:32So people, people, have you heard the good news?
11:37There's people, and people, they're running just like you.
11:41Today, I'll say, it's all that matters for now, for you and I.
11:46Today, I'll say, it's all that matters for now, for you and I.
11:49So people, people, have you heard the good news?
11:53Today, I'll say, it's all that matters for now, for you and I.
12:22Well, that was freaking intense.
12:24It may not look like it at this point in time, but everything was good in the world.
12:29Riz, having won her fourth world title in qualifying for the Olympics, was honored
12:33at the Duke statue in Waikiki.
12:35Dad threw out a few hugs, which were well-documented, and Luke graduated from professional shell collector
12:41to official spokesperson for the more aloha spirit.
12:45In closing, Carissa's love-sharing mechanics have come full circle, packaged with a shitload
12:51of more aloha, so there is not much more to say other than...
12:56Ta-da!
12:56Who wants to dance, who wants to slow dance?
13:03With that rabbit down the hole, rabbit down the hole.
13:10I want a chance, I want to slow dance.
13:16And trap that rabbit down the hole, rabbit down the hole.
13:24Lipstick like dynamite, seven sticks of dynamite.
13:31Lipstick like dynamite.
13:38Lipstick like dynamite.
13:41Seven sticks of dynamite.
13:45Lipstick like dynamite.
13:48Thay night or wine.
14:04Who wants to dance, who wants to slow dance?
14:10To that!
14:11Rack it down the hole, rack it down the hole.
14:17Ooh, I want to dance, I want the last dance.
14:24And try that, rack it down the hole, rack it down the hole.
14:30I'll have to break it.
14:31Can I eat this?
14:32Yeah, sure.
14:34Well, it seems hard. I think you're lying.
14:39Okay.
14:40Okay, now here, wait.
14:40No, you look like...
14:43Dad.
