(济宁高一期末)Most people would shake at the idea of getting caught up in a 73.5-foot wave.But for Brazilian surfer Maya, it presented the perfect opportunity to break her former world record.The athlete skillfully managed the monster earlier this year, at the first World Surf League (WSL) Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge in Praia do Norte, Portugal, which was the same site where she established her 2018 world record by riding a 68-foot wave.
“Although I say I'm not a competitive person, I was very excited and braver than I usually am on this day, ” said Maya.“When I let go of the rope, I had a feeling that this was probably the biggest wave I'd ever ridden.” It turned out that Maya's 73.5-foot monster was two feet higher than that of her competitor's wave, earning her WSL's 2020 women's XXL Biggest Wave Award.It was also 3.5 feet higher than the 70-foot wave ridden by the 2020 men's XXL Biggest Wave Award winner Kai Lenny!
The 33-year old believes her achievement may be a turning point in the understanding of the ability of women surfers.“Our sport is very male dominated, with the performances on the male side often much stronger than ours as females, ” she told The Atlantic.So Maya's success opens the idea that there are other possibilities.
Though Maya seemed to effortlessly ride over the monster surf, it has not all been smooth sailing.Her first attempt at pursuing the world's biggest waves in 2013 could have ended the career of someone with less determination.The surfer suffered a deadly wipeout that broke her ankle and almost killed her.However, the “minor” difficulty did not remove her love for the extreme sport and her desire to be one of the world's greatest surfers!
