Carissa Moore has established herself as a powerhouse in surfing... a world champ who loves to help other young women.
A search of Federal Election Commission (FEC) records for Carissa Moore and Carissa Kainani Moore in Honolulu, Hawaii, reveals no history of financial contributions to federal candidates, PACs, or political parties.
Notes: Searched through the 2016, 2020, and 2024 election cycles.
Agent rationale
The lack of financial participation in the political process suggests a neutral or private political stance, providing no signal for or against the MAGA movement.
While other prominent surfers like Bethany Hamilton have publicly opposed the World Surf League's (WSL) policy on transgender athletes (a key MAGA-aligned cultural issue), Carissa Moore has remained notably silent and has not joined the public protest or signed onto opposition statements.
Notes: This refers to the WSL policy update in early 2023 regarding transgender women in the female category.
Agent rationale
In the context of professional surfing, taking a stance against trans inclusion is a strong MAGA/conservative signal. Moore's refusal to join this movement despite her status as a top athlete indicates a neutral or non-aligned position.

The WSL is adopting the International Surfing Association (ISA) policy... regarding transgender athlete participation.
Moore has frequently spoken about her Native Hawaiian heritage and the importance of representing Hawaii on the world stage. While indigenous rights can sometimes intersect with political activism, her statements have focused on cultural pride rather than partisan policy.
Notes: Often discusses the 'Aloha spirit' in interviews.
Agent rationale
Cultural advocacy for Native Hawaiian identity is generally viewed as a localized or social issue rather than a direct signal of MAGA alignment or opposition.

Hawaii's four-time surfing world champion is one of the most dominant surfers in history... representing her home.
During the 2020 social justice protests, Moore shared messages of unity and kindness on social media. She did not adopt specific partisan slogans or engage in the more polarizing rhetoric often used by both pro- and anti-MAGA figures during that period.
Notes: Based on a review of official social media activity during Summer 2020.
Agent rationale
Her approach to social issues is consistently centered on 'Aloha' and universal positivity, which avoids the friction of the MAGA vs. anti-MAGA divide.
