00:00I had a journal when I was a teenager, and I had written that I was going to surf the biggest wave ever, as big as it gets.
00:09Maia Cabrera is one of the world's elite big wave surfers.
00:12She didn't have much talent, but she would train so hard.
00:17I'm not a model, I'm a surfer.
00:19Carlos introduced me, and I'm teaching Maia how to do surfing, and I'm like, are you kidding me?
00:24I was very worried, and then I saw her surfing.
00:30Maia Cabrera, thanks to my family, my sponsors.
00:33Maia Cabrera has been world champion five times.
00:37I was born a dreamer.
00:40We found the holy grail of big waves.
00:43Nazaré, more challenging than any wave in the world.
00:47This place that they were pioneering sounded like mayhem.
00:51Okay, I gotta go to this place.
00:54When I saw the wave coming, it was a mountain.
00:59I remember hitting it and falling backwards.
01:04And seeing the lip coming over me.
01:07And then she disappears.
01:10So many people believed I wasn't gonna come back.
01:13Maia should not be in this kind of surf.
01:17I'm a woman in a man's world.
01:19You can never be braver than them.
01:22At the beginning came the physical trauma, now is the trauma of the soul.
01:29I'm so close to doing what I've wanted to do my whole career, my whole life.
01:36She comes back to surf the biggest wave a woman has ever surfed.
01:39That should have been the sports highlight of the year.
01:42Hi, I'm Maia Cabrera, big wave surfer, and I need your help.
01:46Hi Maia, I love your story.
01:49People often ask if I don't feel fear.
01:52I do it because I'm afraid.
01:54Is this Maia here?
01:55Oh my God.
01:58Maia Cabrera.
