On October 9, 2015, at exactly midday, beneath the 12 chimes of the bells of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré, Maya Gabeira rode her first wave back at Praia do Norte, where three years earlier she experienced the roughest moment of her career.
Bulldozed by a massive wave, Gabeira broke her ankle instantly, but that was the least of her troubles. Two more waves tossed her around as her body went limp and she slipped in and out of consciousness before fellow Brazilian Carlos Burle was able to rescue her. The scenes were shocking and were watched in horror around the world.
All of which brings us to the courageous clip above. With much physical and psychological preparation, along with two hernia surgeries to her back, Gabeira got back to the place that once changed her life forever. As naturally as you'd expect from someone who's surfed the biggest waves on the planet for the past decade, the 28-year-old didn’t have any problems dropping into 10ft waves, but that was only her first step.

Maya is my hero. She is a special person, inspiring in multiple ways. It’s also great to see how Carlos supports her. Slater and Hamilton’s comments about Maya at Nazare really showed their ugly sides.
GOD BLESS YOU, MAYA!! We are so proud of you, not only because of your remarkable accomplishments, but of you conquering your fear. In these days of this insane virus scare, just watching this gave me a boost of confidence and joy like you cannot believe:) Keep on surfin'!!! We love you.
She is so brave, she almost died there and now she's back there
She is a warrior, example of overcoming. Pride of Brazilian!
Better back to the kitchen
@@MR-zw1kg you better go back to school and learn to respect people!
@@Thejulianocarvalho U better back to the favela
@@MR-zw1kg and you go back to the psychiatrist
@@MR-zw1kg nobody loves you and that's why you say this things on the internet? You feel better doing that?
What an inspiration this person is. Her words will stay with me for life. Respect. Lots of it
Well, of all of the places you can lose it all, I'd have to rank that at the top of my list. Sanctuary of our Lady of Nazareth on top of a majestic cliff that oversees all of the turmoil below. Listening to her story for a second time, I picked up on the fact that she was explaining a near death experience and seeing the cliff before she taking that first breath... that's a special story in and of itself.
Greatness!
Wow she is an incredible inspiration, what Laird and Kelly said i thought was awful, im rooting for her before her Wipeout and im super rooting for her now more than ever
Shes incredibly awsome
Great story. Very inspiring. To come back to the same place and do it again after near death is awesome. Have to say it's brilliant to see the support from Carlos too. Both Maya and Carlos are fantastic.
mad RESPECT
I'm so glad I was there, when she surfed. BEST VACATION EVER.
Oh man! I’m so envious! You get to carry that with you for the rest of your life.
I Salute You Young Lady!!! I Am In Awe....
Muita coragem surfar de novo onde quase morreu. Parabéns a ela e ao Burle.
Cool girl Total Respect !!!
So cool! What an amazing story and triumphant come back!!! Well done!!!
And now she's set the world record for a woman for biggest wave surfed at the very place that nearly took her life. Badass
This girl inspired me to surf in the first place! Now it’s my favourite sport
The most fearless female on the planet " Maya is from another star system "
at 4:01 i shout YEAH while eating peanut butter toast.
Parabéns Maya, muito talento, superação, coragem e amor pelo surf!
Some famous quotes.
"The hardest thing to do to overcome your fear is not to, because thats what protects you" ...Col."Chesty" Puller at Guadalcanal in 1942. What you have to do is control the way fear is affecting you. You live in the day as Cochise said: "Live for today. Yesterday has gone and tomorrow may not come."
Amen 🙏
Go for it, Maya! Good vibes from Brazil.
An amazingly beautiful, talented lady !
Mulher maravilhosa, EXTRAORDINÁRIA, que no exemplo de realizar um sonho não desistiu...e assim nos ensina como DEUS e com quem o ama sobre todas as coisas.
❤
Maya continue a fera de ondas grandes,que vc é...
Damn I was there last month, this place is epic!
Beautiful team, respect
Best female surfer on the planet! Glad she finally has a real tow partner who actually cares about what happens to her...
Voltou e fez história...
Respect beyond respect!

Congrats Maya. We love U 🌹❤️
just awesome !!!
Maya, você é demais. mas não acuse o Burle. se não fosse ele você não seria a super Maya. não faz isso com seu super irmão. ele nunca falou que não era perigoso. sempre disse que era perigo de vida o tempo todo. você não teria chegado nesse patamar se não fosse o Burle. Ele é muito gente boa e te fez ir longe. não faz isso com ele. um grande beijo. Mario Schiller. conheço sua família toda.
5 minutes on how she's coming back 20 seconds of her actually hitting a wave
You go girl
she is awesome......:p
Maia é magnífica e Nazaré é o único lugar do mundo quê gostaria de conhecer!
Respect !
Scary waves!

She's beautiful
I think Maya Gabeira and Bethany Hamilton would be good friends.
She is differentiated
Fantastic video!
Watching her near death 3 years ago,
watching her a Teahupoo,
She has more guts than most men :)
"Sou mais macho que muito homem"...
Tem que ser corajosa viu! Misericórdia 😨
EU SOU APACHONANDO POR HONDAS GRANDES ! Eu sou o Pantera . Abraço.
Laird Hamilton is known to be the quintessential tow in big wave surfer won't surf here. Too scared to surf here Laird? Maybe you should grow some orbs. Forca Maya!
Better she back to the kitchen
Nazaré, crl, qual 'Nazareth'.
puddleS.. YES.. NAZARE. PORTUGAL. MI TIERRA
Foi o que descarreguei agora. Estes 'gringos' não sabem que nomes não têm tradução...
@@GHOSTKILLERAAA London = Londres; New York = Nova York..
@@psilocybe_reptiliensis , nomes próprios não têm tradução. Se estão traduzidos, não deveriam estar. Essa "facilidade" existe, mas não é português correto. Nomes próprios não são só de pessoas… Podem ser referências geográficas como é o caso. Nazaré chama-se Nazaré e não Nazareth ou outra coisa qualquer. João é João e continua a ser nos Estados Unidos. Se o John de lá vier aqui para Portugal, continua a ser o John. Se uma Maria for para os Estados Unidos, na sua óptica fica Mariah ou Mary? Em que ficamos? Pois...
Você surfou aquela onda e Carlos Bule (com a permissão de DEUS) a resgatou, Maya!
Agradeça!
Declarações como essa depõe contra você!
Didn't get towed into the top of the wave
Justine Dupont deserves the record, Maya didnt even finish the wave
#brasilenois
Look at me! I can go straight on the shoulder!
f0t0b0y It's still the shoulder of a massive wave! For her to even come back and give it a go at all after nearly dying the first time, shows incredible courage and will to conquer something that nearly conquered her. Have you ever surfed one if these waves at Nazare? No, so your criticism is not worth shit!
I was in a dark place when I made this comment. It is an impressive task on the mental aspect alone. Most people wouldn't be able to handle the anxiety alone.
f0t0b0y fare enough mate, hope you're doing good now! Merry Christmas. 😊🎄
Cheers. Actually, my health has improved. Thanks. Merry Christmas to you too! I got 8 hour session in the new wave pool in Texas! Excited for them to reopen!
perae carai ela devia falar em português, quando e vídeo de atletas q falam espanhol, alemão, dinamarquês, etc eles falam na lingua nativa deles, só pq e Brasil ai e diferente orr
Verdade, mas tem de entender que ela é atleta Red Bull, daí falar para todo o público em inglês, língua oficial do mundo do surf, com Australia, África do Sul, USA (Hawai incluido)...
portuguese e brasileiro tem orgulho em falar na lingua do interlocutor
Is this the same lady that has a bad accident in Tahiti
Hey Redh Bulli its Nazare not Nazareth...you folow?
Essa é caruda!
Brazilllll
Maya, I wrote a song for you I hope you like it. Yoooooou -- Girlll you are a badass chick! Oooohh yoooooou Giiiirl I want to lay you down. That's all i got so far but um keep doing what you do. Much love
it's shit basically
you gotta hear it with the kazzu solo maybe, but ill keep practicing.
STALKER
Paul Johnson LOL
Still waiting for Laird Hamilton to withdraw his comments, he got this sooo wrong..
In summertime you can breky drive through nazare.....too touristic
Luca Jooste, was that were JESUS was born??
is it just me or does any guy who surfs dream of dating a girl who surfs. not easy to find
Hey Red Bull ...it's called Nazare ,
At least get the name of the place right
TUDO BEM APRENDEMOS COM NOSSOS ERROS MAS AE MENINA SE TEM MAIS DE 15 PÉS AS ONDAS E NÃO TEM SEGURANÇA PRA DROPAR TREINE MAIS DOBRE O TEMPO DE SURFE COM ONDAS DE 9 PÉS DEPOIS DE 12 PÉS ATÉ CHEGAR AOS 15 PÉS SE TIVER FIRMEZA AE SIM PARTE PARA DE 20 E TRINTA PÉS LEVARÁ UM TEMPO. E MELHOR ESPERAR DO QUE CHEGAR E JOGAR PARA BAIXO E DEPOIS DA MERDA CALMA UMA COISA DE CADA VEZ SEI Q É CAPAZ LEMBRE-SE VOCÊ TEM AMIGOS, FAMÍLIA E SE TIVESSE MORRIDO. ESPERE MAIS TEM MUITOS LUGARES DE ONDAS GRANDES E PERFEITA , FIJI LUGAR BOM PRA TREINAR UM ABRAÇO SEJA FELIZ ,VALEU + ATENÇÃO

Names don't have translation, so It's Nazaré and not Nazareth... You should learn that on school...
Not Nazareth, but Nazaré - make it right
WTF!
How about a nice game of golf?
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PLAY WITH THE COUNTRY THAT IS WHERE THE LIFE BORN ...POORTUGAL, CENTER OF THE WORLD
