You are invited to a special one night screening of MAYA AND THE WAVE in Hamilton. Classification: TBC.
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 honoured with a Guinness World Record in big wave surfing.
