Through the story of Maui's Big Wave Ambassador Paige Alms, we learn what the ocean gives this woman's soul and what she gives back.
Paige Alms is among an elite group of surfers who dedicate their lives to riding giants. She grew up with Pe'ahi in her backyard, a proving ground for all big wave surfers. Also known as "Jaws," the break gets its nickname for the toothy wave that rolls through the lineup, enticing those who wish to test their wits.
Historically dominated by the boys, big wave surfing isn't for the faint of heart. Some even say it's not for women. But Paige Alms defies the boundaries of big wave surfing every time she paddles into a bomb to put herself up against one of nature's most ultimate forces.
