For more surfing check out http://win.gs/1alYVe2 On October 29, one of the largest swells in recent memory hit Nazaré, off Portugal's majestic coast. It attracted big-wave surfers from around the world, including two of the most admired, Carlos Burle and Maya Gabeira. If you follow the news closely, you probably know what happened. If you don't, here's a quick recap: Carlos surfed what many believe to be the largest wave ever surfed, while Maya nearly drowned as she charged what could have been the largest wave ever surfed by a woman. _________________________________________________ Experience the world of Red Bull like you have never seen it before.

... You can try and catch, but Ya gonna get chewed !
And I'm a 'mean as' Surfer, Kayaker, Mountaineer... Lol !!
With her weight she is fighting with the waves when they get big because they are sucking her up to the crest a heavier person with travel down quicker it is just physics.
If you look at all the big wave pioneers they have been strong, heavy people Greg Noll and Laird for example. The famous wave Laird surfed at Teahupoo is a prime example of how his weight helped him so much a lighter person would have be struggling to ride it and likely been sucked up to the crest and wiped out.
I am not taking anything away from maya she is a brilliant surfer and person with massive courage and I am not criticizing her because she is a far better surfer than i will ever be but this is just my opinion on big wave surfing and the advantages the people have over others.
Do men have a advantage in Sport? of course they do they have testosterone coursing through there body they are bigger stronger and faster that is not sexism that is a fact.

All these morons saying she is courageous and this and that, just stupid and inexperienced and nearly payed for that with her life. Luckily she made it, luckily they saved her, but shame on Carlos and shame on her and most of all shame on the people in these comments saying how great she is.
newsflash no iq piece of shit youtube warrior, she said herself she shouldn't have been out there lol. You are really bad at this bud
Which is exactly what you did by stating your opinion and replying in a shitty manner, the irony is strong with you ;-)
I never mentioned educating people, you really are grasping at straws now. The only self righteous bullshit is coming from people like you
lol I like how you have respect yet call me a sad loser and a salty freak, I would say you are salty clearly.
Big wave riders train and prep all their lives in most cases, she had less experience than a kid at college doing his A levels.
says it all
Actually I trained to be a lifeguard and ironman athlete on a rough coast from 8 years old till 19. I know I wouldn't be stupid enough to do something before I was ready and nearly die because of my idiotic friend who I now can't trust and my inability to have a brain and say 'not this time'
No you should not be proud of luck and stupidity, you should be proud of talent and a fucking brain
If anything fails...(fill in the gaps)

Alls I can say is "GET A CLUE" Go see the Wizard. I heard he's passin' out Clues!..,
There is a big difference in skills and commitment between one being pulled at full speed and going straight down a big wave not looking back and hoping to outrun the wave and the one to chose deliberatly to do the bottom turn and confront the wave and surf it...
Did I mention the video was awesome?...
P.S.: Maya is pretty hot.
What cool sports don't they do
"Me too!"
That's some awesome passion.
