Brazilian pro surfer Maya Gabeira was flattened by a colossal wave in Portugal which, according to the filmer, could possibly be a new world record.<br /><br />Footage filmed on February 11 in Nazaré, Portugal shows Gabeira ride the monster wave before being engulfed as it crashes down.<br /><br />This wave is currently one of three nominees for the Women's Biggest Wave that the World Surf League are considering. The award will be announced on August 17.<br /><br />Filmer Pedro Miranda told Newsflare: "I’ve filmed both Maya’s World Record back in 2018 and to be honest, this year’s wave looked bigger at first sight. <br /><br />"Maya charged the wave behind the peak and drawn a beautiful yet very aggressive line, she rode the most critical part of the wave on a flawless way, for sure one of the biggest and most spectacular waves I’ve ever captured out there."<br /><br />In 2018, Gabeira rode a 68-foot wave which was entered as the Guinness World Record for the largest wave surfed by a female.<br /><br />"I don’t like to go into speculations, the official measurements will be presented by the WSL in just a few days, whoever wins, Maya or Justine, it will be fair, those girls are breaking the boundaries of the sport and it’s a pleasure to capture those special moments," Miranda added.
