TBT: On October 29, 2013, big-wave surfer Maya Gabeira made news as the biggest surf story of the year. When one of the largest swells to date had hit Nazaré, off the coast of Portugal, surfers from around the globe made their way to conquer these massive waves — including big names like Maya Gabiera and Carlos Burle. Charging the biggest wave ever surfed by a woman to date, Maya almost drowned. What came out of this death defying moment was a life-changing experience and a powerful story of resilience that still remains with the surfing world.
Every Thursday we’ll throwback to a famous athlete or artist and relive some of their defining moments. Join us each week as we look back on some of the most celebrated moments in extreme sports and music.
