A giant wave knocked Maya Gabeira off her surfboard and a friend found her floating in the water, face down. Five years later, the waves that almost took Ms.Gabeira's life helped her set a world record: On Monday, she won two awards for riding a 20 meters wall of water, the largest wave officially surfed by a woman. 0 trecho do texto que mostra uma opinião do autor et "she won two awards" "she almost died".
