Paige Alms - Target Maui Pro - Nov 2014 - Women's World Championship Tour #10
Paige Alms is among an elite group of surfers who dedicate their lives to riding giants.
Paige 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.

Coco Ho - Target Maui Pro - Nov 2014 - Women's World Championship Tour #10
When she was just seven-years-old, Coco Ho learned to surf in a spirited effort to impress her older brother. “My brother’s ...one of the most innovative surfers around, and I wanted to be just like him,” says Coco, now 21, of professional surfer Mason Ho. “My first memory surfing was going before school on a new board I got for my birthday, and coming to class with wet hair and telling everyone I went surfing before school,” she adds. “I thought I was so cool.” But while her family also includes surf legends Michael Ho (her dad) and Derek Ho (her uncle), Coco soon became an idol in her own right. Qualifying for the Association of Surfing Professionals Women’s World Tour at age 17—and repeatedly voted a top three fan favorite in Surfer magazine’s Surfer Poll—Coco now seeks to build on her award-studded surf career while inspiring other girls to break through barriers and pursue their passions.
