Paige Alms and Eli Olson win Biggest Wave Paddle-In Award at the World Surf League 2020 Red Bull Big Wave Awards.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, this year’s Big Wave Awards (BWA) honour the best in big wave surfing from the past 12 months, from big-wave breaks throughout the world.

Justine Dupont and Maya Gabeira wrestled over a new Guinness World Record at Nazaré, Portugal, but in the paddle-in category, it was all about Jaws, Hawaii. The November 15, 2019, and then December 12, 2019, Jaws swells made the biggest impact.
