Paige Alms is one of the best big-wave surfers on the planet (Surfline). Watch her win the 2019 Jaws Big Wave Championships, get an enormous barrel at Pe'ahi, and a few of her other massive waves -- plus this brutal wipeout -- from last year (Youtube). A new documentary titled “Paige” (trailer, Amazon) chronicles her remarkable career. If you don't want to pay for the latest film, check out the full-length documentary "The Wave I Ride: Paige Alms' Story" (Red Bull).
