Paige Alms: Chasing the Biggest Barrel of her Life & Mentoring Younger Women to Do the Same

Paige Alms needs no introduction. A frontrunner and a mainstay in the big wave surfing arena, Paige has set records for women’s surfing at Pe’ahi, competed in The Eddie at Waimea, chased surging barrels around the globe and - when at home - enjoys gardening and making sourdough bread. Paige’s insight and wisdom into the world of surfing comes from a lifetime of commitment to putting in the time on the water, dialing in her equipment with shaper/fiance Sean Ordonez, and training her body - and her mind - to be fiercely on point when the swell arrives. In this episode, speaking with Paige is like a drenching of her positive energy, with the retelling of several formative waves from her career and her experiences around mentoring up-and-coming women into the arena of chasing giant moving mountains of water. Paige Alms is not just another surfer; she is a force of nature, exploring the discipline of downwind foiling in her downtime on Maui and waiting for the next swell to come.
