True life story about a brave big wave surfer Maya Gabeira
I was impressed with Maya Gabeira's courage in taking on new challenges and traveling the world at a young age to surf in many different countries. She bravely becomes a big wave surfer - a dangerous sport. And ultimately she sets a record for women by surfing on a 73.5 foot wave (about as tall as a 6-story building!) While I do not plan on taking up big wave surfing, her story inspired me to want to be brave in pursuing my own dreams and in taking on new challenges in life.
