American surfer Caroline Marks won her first world title on Saturday, defeating Olympic champion and five-time world champion Carissa Moore.⁠
⁠
On her way to the World Surf League final, the 21-year-old defeated fellow American Caitlin Simmers and Australia’s Tyler Wright before taking on Moore in the gold-medal match. There, she won the first two heats comfortably scoring 17.10 and 14.60 out of a maximum 20 points.⁠
⁠
“There’s definitely going to be a massive party after this and everyone is invited!” Marks told the WSL afterwards. “For real, thank you to everyone who has supported me, all this wouldn’t be possible without everyone. My family, they’re everything to me and the fact they’re all here, it’s the biggest dream ever.”⁠
