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.
Footage filmed on February 11 in Nazaré, Portugal shows Gabeira ride the monster wave before being engulfed as it crashes down.
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.
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.
"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." In 2018, Gabeira rode a 68-foot wave which was entered as the Guinness World Record for the largest wave surfed by a female.
"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.
