Nazare Portugal is now one of those big wave destinations, but it is only for the truly crazy or the mega skilled. Maya is no crazy, she is a skilled surfer but she was riding waves close to 100 feet tall at a very treacherous spot near the small fishing village of Nazare. She took a big fall on a big wave and was held under for a long time. Fortunately she was pulled from the water by fellow big wave surfer Carlos Burle. Maya was pull from the cold water unconscious and Carlos did CPR on the beach. He was able to revive Maya and she is now recovering in the hospital, only suffered a broken ankle from the wipe-out and being thrashed by the waves. Here to Carlos for his heroics and here's to Maya for surfing killer waves...
