The water quickly became a part of her everyday life, taking up the sport of surfing at age nine. With Paige\u2019s fearlessness and perseverance, along with one of the world\u2019s best big-wave surf spots in her backyard, it was inevitable that she\u2019d begin to conquer these monsters.<\/p>\n<p>Today, at age 27, Paige has become Maui\u2019s big-wave ambassador, living her humble life dedicated to her passion. In 2015, Paige became the first woman to get barreled at Jaws for which she won the Women\u2019s Overall Performance honor at the WSL Big Wave Awards and an ESPY nomination. Alongside her incredible accomplishments, Paige leads her life with a shining heart, smile, and spirit, one we were grateful for the opportunity to document.<\/p>\n<p>About Devyn Bisson<br \/>\nDevyn Bisson is an international award-winning documentary filmmaker, and the chief storyteller at Hues of Blue Stories.
