"Maya and the Wave" documents the story of Maya Gabeira who always dreamed of surfing giant waves. In 2013, she attempted to surf the infamous big wave in Nazaré, Portugal, and nearly drowned. In the following years, Maya underwent three spine surgeries and weathered a psychological breakdown. But Maya has the blood of a rebel. Her father is the legendary Brazilian activist and politician, Fernando Gabeira. With the same radical spirit, Maya endures – and succeeds. On January 18, 2018, an unprecedented storm approached Nazaré and Maya surfed the biggest wave a woman has ever surfed. She fought for recognition and became the first female surfer honored with a Guinness Book World Record. Two years later, Maya was the first woman to compete in the men’s division of a big wave competition. She surfed the biggest wave of the year (73.5 feet), breaking her previous world record. In the footsteps of Billie Jean King, Maya achieved a rare moment in sports–outperforming all men to show the world that women are capable of anything. Presented in Portuguese and English with English subtitles.
