Maya and the Wave

JOIN US FOR THE SYDNEY PREMIERE OF MAYA AND THE WAVE FOLLOWED BY Q&A WITH DIRECTOR STEPHANIE JOHNES LIVE ON STAGE!

World champion Brazilian surfer Maya Gabeira battles monster waves as well as chauvinism in this stunning documentary.

Maya and the Wave, a feature-length documentary, tells the extraordinary story of Maya Gabeira, the first woman to surf the giant wave in Nazaré, Portugal. She nearly drowns - and is ridiculed by the male big wave surfers who dominate the sport. Three spine surgeries and five years later, she surfs the biggest wave a woman has ever surfed. When her accomplishment is disregarded, Maya enlists the help of her fans to fight for recognition --and becomes the first female surfer honoured with a Guinness World Record in big wave surfing.
