Big Wave Beauty Maya Gabeira is not scared!
Up until a few years ago, Big Wave surfing was almost exclusively a men's club full of bravado and machismo. Surfers from all over the world would descend on the North Shore of Oahu looking to conquer their fears, feed their adrenaline habit, and hopefully obtain bragging rights to biggest waves the North Pacific could throw at them. However, a quiet and unassuming Brazilian beauty is leading the charge for a new group of women big wave surfers gaining respect from the big wave boys club. Maya Gabeira , along with Jamilla Star, Jenny Useldinger, Mercedes Maidana and Maui based tow team of Andrea Moller and Maria Souza are slowly making a name for themselves as the new feminine face of big Wave surfing.
We are going to be following up on these amazing women as the year progresses so in the meantime check this article in the Independent UK(link) on Maya and the links below for more info.
