Carlos Burle and Jamie Mitchell chat about the ascension of Brazil's first female big-wave surfer.
Late Drop Podcast is Presented by Futures Fins futuresfins.com .
“She’s very focused on everything she does in her life, especially when it comes to big-wave surfing,” Carlos Burle explains of her controversial female protege, Maya Gabeira, who nearly died at Nazare in 2013. “And we got a lot of crap from the community. That hurt her a lot. It hurt me, too… A lot of judgment, which is normal. It’s okay. But we didn’t give up.”
“Everything we did together was a long way,” he adds. “It wasn’t easy at all. We had a lot of badmouthing from all over the place… On the other hand, we were breaking a lot of prejudices, we were pushing the boundaries for big-wave surfing for girls. And we were opening a lot of doors. So, that was giving me a lot of energy and motivation.”
