Adventure Magazine
|August 2020
Kiwi pro surfer, Paige Hareb qualified for the world tour in 2008 and has spent the last 12 years travelling the globe competing on the international circuit. When Covid hit in March, she was in New Zealand for the Piha Surf Competition and found herself stranded back in her home country. This is the longest time Paige has been in one place since she was 17 years old. We caught up with the now 30 year old for a quick chat...

When was the last time you were in NZ longer than 2 months? I think when I was 17 years old, so 13 years ago! The next longest time was a few years ago when I broke my ribs. That didn’t really count because it was only for 4 weeks and for most of that time I just lay flat in bed healing my ribs.
A few thoughts about being home... what's the best thing? Wow, this question is harder than I thought it would be! Honestly, lockdown and after lockdown has been the best time for me to sit back and look at how my life has been…super hectic, on the go surfing and competing from one country to the next, airport to airport. It’s been great but I’ve missed out on simple things like cooking!

North West Circuit Stewart Island
I found myself in limbo during the winter of 2020, in between jobs in a strained covid economy. And so, I did what any outdoors person would do with a large amount of free time on their hands. It was time to pack up my belongings and hit the road. It was time to leave behind home comforts and go adventure-seeking.

Emilie's adventure to Angelus Hut
“I want to be the leader!” Miss Six announced, pushing past me in her determination to be in front. Momentarily off-balance with my heavy pack, I narrowly avoided twisting an ankle on the sharp rocks and silently swore while cracking a bright smile.

Adversity at Altitude
The wind and snow is whipping at my face. I’ve readjusted the stiff frozen fleece buff around my neck and mouth, desperately trying to protect myself from the -20 degree bitter wind. Adrenaline is still pumping through my body but I know I’ll start to get cold soon.
