the wave i ride

patagonia portland hosted a great event at their store featuring documentary "the wave i ride" about women's big wave surfer paige alms.  the free pizza and drinks were fun, as was the chance to look around at great outdoor gear, but what was really inspiring was the multi-dimensional life of this surfer.  not only that, but her perseverance through injury and rehabilitation to ride some of the biggest waves ever surfed!
