OVERVIEW:
Nantucket Dreamland presents Maya and the Wave – Q&A to follow with director Stephanie
Johnes
Description: Maya Gabeira always dreamed of surfing
giant waves. She attempts to surf the infamous big wave in Nazaré,
Portugal, and nearly drowns. In the following years, Maya undergoes three spine
surgeries and weathers a psychological breakdown. Maya has the blood of a
rebel. Her father is legendary activist and politician, Fernando Gabeira. With
the same radical spirit, Maya endures - and succeeds. On January 18, 2018 an
unprecedented storm approaches Nazaré and Maya surfs the biggest wave a woman
has ever surfed. She fights for recognition and becomes the first female surfer
honored with a Guinness Book World Record.
Two years later, Maya is the first woman to compete in the
men’s division of a big wave competition. She surfs the biggest wave of the
year (73.5 feet), breaking her previous world record. In the footsteps of
Billie Jean King, Maya has achieved a rare moment in sports – outperforming all
men to show the world that women are capable of anything.
