Maya Gabeira's DEATH DEFYING Surf Story | Throwback | Unstoppable

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.
