Steeped in Tradition: “One of my favorite things in the world is mate, an Argentine drink. I like to have it after surfing. It reminds me of my roots.”
Stepping Out: “I bought these shoes in the city of Bhuj in India. They are handmade, and I find them so beautiful.”

Carrying a Tune: Moira’s collection of instruments includes a portable Indian harmonium. “I bring it to drum circles and also play it as a form of meditation.”
Like a Pro: “I wear a really good Mercola Healthy Skin sunscreen that some of the best surfers in the world use. I like to take care of myself the natural way.”
Precious Metals: “I know I’m a hippie girl, but I do love jewelry. These rings are antiques that I bought on the Pakistan border.”
Artistic Inclination: In the off-season, Moira paints and teaches creative expression classes in her studio, where, she says, “I’ve accomplished things I never thought I could.”
