We are proud to tour MAYA and the WAVE in Australia, May 2025. Click here for where to find Maya And The Wave on tour in cinemas
After successful tours in the USA, UK and Germany, we have put together 14 big screen showings. Big wave surfing always best to be seen on the big screen!
It is not about if girls can surf in extreme waves it is to see what it takes to actually do it.
Maya and the Wave is an extraordinary and unique story of Maya Gabeira.
Ten years in the making, MAYA and the WAVE tells the extraordinary story of Maya Gabeira, the first woman to surf the giant wave in Nazaré, Portugal. She nearly drowns – and is ridiculed by the male big wave surfers who dominate the sport. Three spine surgeries and five years later, she surfs the biggest wave a woman has ever surfed. When her accomplishment is disregarded, Maya enlists the help of her fans to fight for recognition –and becomes the first female surfer honored with a Guinness World Record in big wave surfing.
