MAYA AND THE WAVE
MAYA AND THE WAVE follows Brazilian big-wave surfer Maya Gabeira as she defies the odds in a male-dominated sport. Filmmaker Stephanie Johnes captures Gabeira's journey, from surfing massive waves in Nazaré, Portugal, to enduring multiple spine surgeries and a breakdown. With stunning footage, including her record-breaking 73.5-foot wave, the film highlights her relentless determination and resilience. Gabeira's story proves that courage and perseverance matter more than gender or size in the pursuit of greatness.
