Hawaiian native Paige Alms made big-wave history on November 11 when she became the first woman to win the Pe'ahi Challenge. With her friends and family up on the bluff, Alms took the win over France's Justine Dupont -- scoring a Heat total of 21.66 against Dupont's 10.77.
"I still feel like that was a dream, I can't quite believe it," said Alms. "What a blessing to be out there with just a couple of girls, that was very special."
