 As the The daughter of Fernando Gabeira, a famous political dissident and founder of the Brazilian Green Party, Maya has avoided the country’s turbulent politics and focused on surfing. She is apart of a slim number of female big wave surfers in the world with Mavericks, Waimea, Todos Santos, and the sketchy and shark-infested Dungeons under her belt.
Maya won the ESPYS Female Action Sports Athlete of the Year award for 2009 and it was well deserved. Just recently at Dungeons in South Africa, the 22 year old charged a 40+ foot wave, which people are saying is the biggest wave ridden by a female. "It was exciting to get that much speed down the face and manage to make such an irregular wave on my backside. Thanks to Carlos I had the biggest waves of my life that day!" says Maya.
The 3 time winner of the Billabong XXL Girls Overall Performance title is headed for another year as title holder. She is a true inspiration for girls in surfing. Your a BadAss Maya!
Sponsors include Billabong and Red Bull. |
