Of all the women, there is one that is pushing it harder than pretty much anyone else. A few years ago, Alms decided that she was going to become a professional surfer. She put her head down and went to work doing what she already did: surfing giant waves. She began to take it a little more seriously, though, putting more focus on training than ever before. It paid off in spades. Now, Alms is inspiring both men and women to push the limits. As far as being prepared to push those limits, she’s got a smart way of doing things.
“Knowing and trusting that you’re going to come up is the ultimate thing,” she says. “As soon as you doubt that, that’s when you’re going to go into panic mode. For me, it’s one hundred percent trusting that I’ve done all the right training and I’m ready to go.”
