Brazilian Surfer Breaks Own Record for Big Wave Ride

VOA News

   The World Surf League (WSL) announced Thursday that Brazilian big wave
   rider Maya Gabeira beat her own world record this year when she rode a
   22.4-meter wave at Portugal's Nazare, the same place she set the record
   in 2018.

   Gabeira broke her previous mark by nearly 2 meters during a big wave
   competition at Nazarre on February 11. Not only was the wave a new
   women's record, but the WSL says it was the biggest wave ridden by a
   man or woman in 2020.
