“All I know is my favorite color is blue.” That’s what eight year old Carissa Moore tells me when I ask her how long she has been surfing, does she know who Rell Sunn is, and would she like to be a world champion surfer one day. We hang out on the beach talking about her favorite cartoon The Power Puff Girls and how lame Pokemon really is. I try to get her to teach me to hula dance, after all she was born and raised in Hawaii Kai on the South Shore of Oahu, but she just giggles at me instead.
