Maya Gaberia wins Billabong XXL

Brazilian Maya Gabeira has won the Billabong Girls XXL award for monster waveriding, netting a $5,000 prize. If the website was a bit more user friendly I'd give you more info…here's what the press release on Surfer's Village says:

‘Maya Gabeira, 21, took back-to-back titles in the Billabong Girls Best Performance Award after notching up a collection of giant rides in Tahiti, California, Hawaii and Mexico over the past twelve months. Gabeira proved without doubt that she is the world's premiere female big wave surfer.

“It is such and honor to be here again, two years in a row,” said Gabeira. “All my friends are here and my mom flew out from Brazil. To see those waves on the big screen here and listen to everyone scream is such a good feeling.”’

Maya features in this issue of SurfGirl, riding one of the Teahupoo bombs that won her this accolade.
