Hurley athlete Carissa Moore has claimed victory at the 2026 Corona Cero New Zealand Pro, earning a major Championship Tour win in her highly anticipated return season to elite competition. The win adds to an exciting 2026 season for the Hurley surf team, following Gabriela Bryan’s victory at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach earlier this year.
The five-time World Champion showcased the power, style, and composure that have defined her career, delivering standout performances throughout the event against the world’s best surfers. Moore’s victory marks another milestone in her legendary career and continues an inspiring new chapter following her return to competition after becoming a mother.
“Carissa continues to redefine what’s possible both in and out of the water,” said Hurley Team Manager Brett Simpson. “Her resilience, passion, and ability to perform at the highest level while inspiring the next generation is what makes her such a special part of the Hurley family. Watching her win in New Zealand during this chapter of her life and career is incredibly inspiring.”
Moore’s victory further cements her legacy as one of the most accomplished athletes in surfing history. The Olympic Gold Medalist and five-time World Champion remains one of the sport’s most influential figures, pushing the progression of women’s surfing while representing the spirit of aloha around the globe.
The New Zealand Pro win also builds momentum for Moore as the 2026 World Surf League Championship Tour season continues.
