Two Historic Rides By Big Wave Surfers - And They're Women

The last two weeks have seen historic rides by two of the best big wave surfers in the world. Oh, and, by the way, they’re both women. 

First, Californian Jamilah Star (one of our 2007 Adventurers of the Year) went to Mexico in hopes of catching a monster and ended up at the famous Playa Zicatela on one of the biggest days of the year. It was there that she snagged what many are calling the biggest tube that a woman has ever paddled into.

Not to be outdone, Brazilian Maya Gabeira (pictured), who was just featured in our June/July issue, tracked a swell all the way to a spot called Dungeons, near Cape Town, South Africa. Battling currents, overzealous seals, and the ever-present threat of great white sharks, she was towed into what looks to be the biggest wave ever ridden by a woman. No one wants to start throwing around wave height numbers just yet, but you can check out the pictures at surfline.com and judge for yourself.—Tetsuhiko Endo

Nothing ruins your day faster than some local guy with his high testosterone levels telling you to get off 'his' wave.

Then let my girl take a shit in his mouth. On camera. Then mail the tape to a.q. headquarters. Or better yet, take them to a strip club and make them watch while my redneck buddies prepare for an old-fashioned parking-lot ass-whoopin!

s a child I was slave to my impulses; now I am slave to my habits, as are all grown men. I have surrendered my free will to the years of accumulated habits and the past deeds of my life have already marked out a path which threatensddd

There really should be more women out in the surfing giving the guys a run for their money. Might make some of the more competitive surf spots a little less aggressive. Nothing ruins your day faster than some local guy with his high testosterone levels telling you to get off 'his' wave.

Keep it up ladies..
