Local surfer Carissa Moore to be sponsored by Target
Target Corp., the No. 2 U.S. discount retailer, has signed a sponsorship agreement with Carissa Moore, a 16-year-old professional surfer who is entering her senior year at Punahou School.
Moore, who is an 11-time NSSA National Champion, is currently tied for first place in the Women’s World Qualifying Series. Target said it was excited about sponsoring her.
“Carissa is a phenomenal athlete as well as a terrific ambassador of women’s surfing,” said Troy Michels, of Target Lifestyle Marketing.
Moore also has collected two other sponsorships from outside of surfing, including one from Nike 6.0 and another from Red Bull.
