Why Maya Gabeira Is Still Surfing

Almost one year after Maya Gabeira nearly drowned at Nazare in Portugal, she is still surfing and still stunning. We haven’t heard her speak candidly about that day too much, and especially not about the media talk that erupted in its wake (see also; Laird Hamilton saying she shouldn’t have been out there). Some of her opinions in this clip are undeniably awesome: “It’s more acceptable for a guy to die doing a crazy sport and pushing the limits and doing his thing, than a woman.”
