\nLaura Enever prepares for battle.

Pint-sized prodigy Carissa Moore from Hawaii had her older and more seasoned rivals rattled today at the Billabong World Junior Championships, after she put on a performance well beyond her tender age of 13. <\/p>\n
Moore revelled in the one metre (three foot) conditions at Narrabeen Beach, Australia as she caught numerous right-hand breaking waves and executed top to bottom turns that scored her a total of 17.84 out of a possible 20. [\/i]\u0093I\u0092m very excited to make the quarter finals,\u0094 said Moore who was modest and shy in front of the media swarm after her round three heat. \u0093I found the conditions fun and I\u0092m nervous about going up against girls like Jessi Miley-Dyer and Steph Gilmore but I\u0092m more excited that I\u0092m getting the chance and I\u0092ll just try my best.\u0094<\/p>\n
Moore has already been surfing for nine years and her future as a superstar of the sport looks secure, especially since she has such a strong support team in her parents. <\/p>\n
\u0093I\u0092ve been surfing since I was four years old,\u0094 said Moore. \u0093My dad and mum surf too and they help me a lot. I normally surf on the south shore of Oahu, Hawaii. It\u0092s a lot different to here. I don\u0092t get to surf beach breaks much (the waves she usually surfs break over lava reef and coral) but I really like it.\u0094<\/p>\n
Fellow competitor and round three heat winner Jesse Miley-Dyer (AUS) could potentially meet Moore in the semi finals and was wary of the youngster\u0092s ability.<\/p>\n
\u0093Carissa is a really good surfer and she did really well today,\u0094 said Miley-Dyer. \u0093I think when surfing against girls like that you just do your own thing and not worry about what they are doing. I can\u0092t control how many big turns she does!\u0094 <\/p>\n
Miley-Dyer looked solid today and is looking forward to a big result so as to give her 2006 campaign a positive start. She was looking forward to attacking \u0093the business end\u0094 of the event.<\/p>\n
\u0093It\u0092s really exciting to be in the final stages of the contest,\u0094 said Miley-Dyer. \u0093In that last heat I was glad to get through as Laura Enever is a great little Narrabeen grommet. I\u0092m definitely looking forward to my next heat and I\u0092m not really feeling too much pressure.\u0094<\/p>\n
Living up to her reputation as a world beater Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) scored the second highest total of the day with a 17.17 out of 20. <\/p>\n
Gilmore has been touted as a definite ASP Women\u0092s World Tour title contender and will be using this event as a springboard for her 2006 assault on the World Qualifying Series \u0096 which she must follow in order to qualify for the main tour. <\/p>\n
The 17-year-old was radical in her approach to riding the waves today and will be very hard to hold off from taking the top gong. <\/p>\n
\u0093I was having a lot of fun out there on those little waves and it really suits my surfing,\u0094 said a smiling Gilmore. \u0093My goal for the start of this year would ideally be to become a junior world champion so hopefully I can make that a reality. I\u0092m going to do the World Qualifying Series full time this year and hopefully by the end of this year I\u0092ll have enough points to qualify\u0085 And then I can have a go at winning the real world title!\u0094<\/p>\n
Like Miley-Dyer, Gilmore paid tribute to Moore\u0092s amazing display. <\/p>\n
\u0093All the girls are really pushing the limits,\u0094 said Gilmore. \u0093Carissa in her heat was awesome. She was doing stuff out there that most 13-year-old boys couldn\u0092t do. It\u0092s definitely going to be a hard task to win\u0085 but I\u0092ll just see what I can do.\u0094 <\/p>\n
Contest Director Luke Egan was hopeful that the event would continue on tomorrow and has both the men and women on standby for an 8am start. He will assess conditions at 7.30am tomorrow (3 January). <\/p>\n
