Female surfer sets world record for biggest wave
It’s official, surfer Maya Gabeira of Brazil set a new world record.
She rode a 68-foot wave from trough to crest back in January in Nazare, Portugal.
It earned her the Guinness World Record title for the largest wave surfed unlimited by a female.
The feat also earned her the inaugural women’s double XL biggest wave award.
Both awards were announced in a special ceremony Monday.
Gabeira made the accomplishment at the same break point where she suffered a serious injury back in 2013.
