READY TO GO CHECK OUT SOME AWESOME SURFING? THE OLYMPICS MAY HAVE BEEN POSTPONED THIS
YEAR BUT THE NIECE SUPER GIRL
SURF PRO IS GOING STRONG. IT'S
HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND AND WE
HAVE SPECIAL GUESTS KARISSA AND
KATIE. THEY'RE HITTING
THE WAVES THIS WEEKEND. THEY'RE
JOINING US LIVE THIS MORNING.
GOOD MORNING TO BOTH OF YOU.
WE'RE IN MINING SO WE WANT TO
GIVE OUR VIEWERS A BACKGROUND.
FIRST OF ALL, CARISSA REIGNING
FOR TIME WORLD CHAMPION FORMER
SUPERGIRL PRO CHAMP. YOU WERE
ONE OF THE FIRST WOMEN TO
QUALIFY FOR TEAM USA. ITS FIRST
EVER OLYMPIC SURF TEAM. SO TELL
ME HOW EXCITED ARE YOU FOR THIS
WEEKEND? I AM SO EXCITED.
THE ENERGY IS REALLY HIGH. I
THINK ALL THE GIRLS ARE REALLY
LOOKING FOR PUTTING A JERSEY ON
AGAIN. I THINK IT'S BEEN AROUND
SIX MONTHS SINCE I LAST
COMPETED IN THE OCEAN. SO THIS
IS SOMETHING I'VE BEEN REALLY
LOOKING FORWARD TO AND I'M A
LITTLE NERVOUS JUST BECAUSE I
HAVEN'T DONE IT IN A WHILE. BUT
IT WILL BE FUN. AND I'M SURE
PEOPLE WILL BE VERY EXCITED TO
SEE YOU OUT ON THOSE WAVES. AND
KATIE, YOU ARE LOCAL STAR. IT'S
SO GOOD TO SEE YOU. YOU'RE FROM
OCEANSIDE. THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE
AT NOW. NUMBER ONE RANKED NORTH
AMERICAN JUNIOR AND
THE REIGNING U.S. OPEN JUNIOR
CHAMP. SO HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
BEING PART SUPERGIRL SURF PRO?
PRETTY EXCITED BECAUSE I KNOW
I'VE BEEN LIKE WATCHING IT FOR
LIKE A COUPLE YEARS AND I'VE
ALWAYS WANTED TO BE IN IT. SO
IT'S COOL TO BE IN ED KATIE.
HOW OLD ARE YOU? I'M 14 ALMOST
IF WE'RE ALREADY SO MUCH
SUCCESS. WE WISH YOU BOTH VERY
A LOT OF LUCK THIS WEEKEND THIS
YEAR. OF COURSE, AS YOU KNOW IS
GOING TO BE DIFFERENT. SO
CHRIS, LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.
YOU DON'T WANT EVERYONE TO COME
OUT AND CHEER YOU ON AT
THE BEACH, RIGHT? BUT THEY CAN
STILL CHEER YOU ON FROM HOME IT
SOUNDS LIKE. YES. I MEAN
EVERYTHING THERE HAS HAD TO
CHANGE AND ADAPT A LITTLE. OF
COURSE I WOULD LOVE THE FANS TO
COME DOWN AND SUPPORT. I MEAN
THAT'S WHAT MAKES SURFING SO
SPECIAL IS BEING ABLE TO
INTERACT WITH THE FANS THIS
YEAR WHERE YOU KNOW, I THINK
THEY'RE DOING LIKE A LITTLE BIT
OF A BUBBLE AND YOU CAN TUNE IN
AT SUPER ONLINE AT SUPERGIRL.
AND I'VE BEEN OUT TO THIS
COMPETITION IN THE PAST. IN
FACT, I WAS ON ONE OF
THE PANELS BEFORE. THERE'S A
LOT SUPER WOMEN AROUND. I MEAN
SO MANY DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES
THAT USUALLY GO AND THEY HAVE
VENDORS AND ALL OF THAT SETUP.
BUT THIS YEAR IT'S STILL
EXCITING. I KNOW FOR YOU, KATIE
TO I'M SURE TRAINING HAS BEEN A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. YOU WANT
TO TALK ABOUT THAT? WHAT HAVE
YOU HAD TO DO TO ADJUST WITH
THE PANDEMIC AND ALL OF THAT?
IT'S BEEN A LITTLE DIFFERENT
BUT IT'S BASICALLY IT'S PRETTY
SIMILAR. BUT FOR A COUPLE WEEKS
WE WEREN'T ABLE TO SAVE WHICH
WAS PRETTY TOUGH BUT NOW IT'S
IT'S ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL. GOT
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH A
LOT OF SURFERS. YOU KNOW, YOU
CAN DEFINITELY SOCIAL DISTANCE
WHEN YOU'RE OUT ON THE WAVES.
YOU DON'T WANT TO GET CLOSE TO
ANYBODY OUT THERE. BUT AS FAR
AS YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO GO
OUT AND SURF AND JUST DESCRIBE
TO OUR VIEWERS, KATIE, IF YOU
WANT TO START WHY YOU LOVE THIS
SPORT SO MUCH NOW IT'S JUST
LIKE WHEN YOU GET AWAY IT'S
JUST SUPER FUN AND JUST SURFING
WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. YOU
KNOW, GETTING SOME GOOD WAVES.
WHEN DID YOU START WHAT? WHEN
DID YOU START? OH, I PROBABLY
STARTED WHEN I WAS LIKE 60. I
THINK AMAZING. I LOVE TO SEE,
YOU KNOW, YOUNGSTERS OUT ON
THOSE WAVES. CURTIS, HOW ABOUT
YOU TELL US WHY YOU LOVE THIS
SO MUCH? SAME WITH KATIE. I
LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH MY
FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN
THE OCEAN. THERE'S NO BETTER
FEELING THAN THE SALTWATER ON
YOUR SKIN AND FEELING THE WARM
SUN. I. I JUST LOVE BEING
PRESENT. I LOVE WRITING
THE WAVES AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL
FOR ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT
I'VE GOTTEN THROUGH SURFING. I
JUST I LOVE BEING ABLE TO
TRAVEL AND SEE THE WORLD AND
EXPERIENCE SEEING DIFFERENT
CULTURES AND EATING REALLY GOOD
FOOD. SO OVERALL SURFING IS
JUST AN AMAZING LIFESTYLE. AND
THIS COMPETITION HAPPENING
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AT OCEAN
SIDE AT THE PIER RIGHT THERE.
ALSO I'VE BEEN FORECASTING
THIS. WE'VE GOT A HURRICANE OFF
THE COAST OF BAHA. IT'S PRETTY
FAR FROM US BUT IT'S GOING TO
INCREASE THE SWELL A LITTLE.
ARE YOU LADIES PREPARED FOR
THIS? ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT
THIS? I'M SUPER EXCITED. I
THINK I THINK FROM WHAT
THE LOCALS SAY, KATIE, YOU'LL
HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
BUT EVERYONE'S BEEN SAYING THAT
THAT HURRICANES WILL BREAK UP
THE BREAKUP THIS WELL A LITTLE
BIT AND MAKE IT MORE PEAKY
WHICH IS IS BETTER FOR YOU FOUR
DOWN THERE. KATIE AGREES.
HOPEFULLY IT WON'T BE IN SIGHT
BECAUSE THE OTHER DAY I SAID IT
WAS PRETTY WALL CLOSED OUT. SO
HOPEFULLY WITH THE HURRICANES
IT'LL MAKE E AND BETTER TO SURF
FROM THE CONTEST. ALL RIGHT.
AND FOR VIEWERS THAT WANT TO
LOG IN AND WATCH THESE LADIES,
THEY'LL BE CHEERING YOU ON FROM
HOME. WE'LL BE SUPPORTING YOU
ALL THE WAY. THANK YOU BOTH SO
