Maui’s Paige Alms shares her experience as the first ever Pe’ahi Challenge Women’s Championship, in the latest feature made by the North Shore Collective in partnership with Super Sessions, dedicated to female empowerment through big wave surfing. Residing just up the road from Jaws, Paige makes sure to surf every big swell in her backyard, and her experience in heavy surf paid off big time when the WSL’s Big Wave Tour decided to run the first championship event for women. Her surfboard shaper and partner, Sean Ordonez of SOS Shapes, compliments her technical approach to big wave surfing.
So what’s next for Paige and the future of female big wave surfing? Honestly, the sky is the limit and anything is possible.
