After a brush with death, Maya Gabeira makes history in the male-dominated world of big wave surfing.
This feature length documentary tells the extraordinary story of Maya Gabeira, the first woman to surf the giant wave in Nazaré, Portugal. She nearly drowns, and is ridiculed by the male big wave surfers who dominate the sport. Three spine surgeries and five years later, she rides the biggest wave a woman has ever surfed.
When her accomplishment is disregarded, Maya enlists the help of her fans to fight for recognition—and becomes the first female surfer honoured with a Guinness World Record in big wave surfing.
