  • Watch Maya Gabeira set a new Guinness World Record for the biggest wave ever ridden by a female surfer.
    The Brazilian surfer won "XXL Biggest Wave" at the 2020 Red Bull Big Wave Awards with a spectacular ride on a 73.5-foot (22.4 meters) wave at Praia do Norte in Nazaré, Portugal.
    The World Surf League decided that all data regarding potential world record waves should be reviewed by an independent scientific team.
    The team included members from the WaveCo Science team, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the University of Southern California, Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering.
    The analysis was based on video and photo imagery, camera locations, camera lens parameters, and environmental conditions, including tides, sunlight, and wave set-up.
    Collinearity equations were used to transform the image coordinates into real-world coordinates based on estimates of the geometric parameters, including the height of the cliff at Nazaré.
    In addition, fixed reference points in the imagery, including the surfers’ heights, surfboard and jet ski dimensions, and estimated crouching heights, were utilized in the scientific calculations.
    Maya Gabeira's world record wave was surfed on February 11, 2020, at Praia do Norte in Nazaré, Portugal.
    She improved her previous mark set at 68 feet (20.72 meters).

    Now imagine this clip without that ghastly soundtrack, and instead, the natural thunder that the wave emits as it passes. This is just another video that had the potential for greatness that got absolutely wrecked by some awful music.

      Because truthfully no record was broken. Big wave records are only set when the surfer rides out of the wave... She wiped out after a few seconds and was nearly killed in the surf. Kudos for trying, but there were men out there riding waves like that all day, they get no records because they wiped out. She wiped out and because she is a girl she gets patted on the back. It's ridiculous, and she had no business out there. This is the second big wave she has nearly died on. Third time could be a charm... I hope she has gotten it through her head now!

      No, the title is correct. She rode the biggest wave of the year (women and men), but she only set a new world record for the women's. The biggest wave ever ridden currently stands at 80 feet. The world record holder is Rodrigo Koxa.

    This is an amazing wave and I have so much respect for Maya, but I don't think that you can say that she rode out of it, so it doesn't appear to be a completed wave.

      Finally someone with some sense!!! That wave almost killed her. People are in serious denial these days. She shouldn't have been out there.
