11-time NSSA National champ, former Roxy Pro Gold Coast runner-up and sure-to-be future world champ Carissa Moore has just upped the ante – this time in the sponsorship arena. According to her longtime agent, Bryan Taylor, she’s agreed to terms on two major deals – one with Red Bull and the other with Nike 6.0. A third unconfirmed deal is still allegedly in the works with a well-known department store (think: Shaun White). That one should be finalized by Jan. 1.
