After taking home another huge check at the Billabong XXL Awards early this year and winning top female action sports athlete at the Teen Choice Awards, it seems Maya Gabeira is conquering more than just big waves. She has her eyes set on taking over the world.
There is no better way to celebrate summer than takeover the sands of Seal Beach, California, with cameras, bikinis, and of course, big-wave surfer Maya Gabeira. Check out the photos by Dove Shore as Maya struts around in Billabong’s holiday collection. “It’s Billabong’s holiday collection. I love the clothing, especially the lace legging! Actually all the pieces with lace. The suits are so good for surfing and the colorful one is my new signature suit. So excited for it to hit the stores: fall 2011!”
Maya Gabeira is undeniably hot—let’s get that out of the way. She makes grown men weak and makes hormonal teenage boys pass out. She’s a dime breezy in every sense of the phrase, which also makes us forget one huge thing about her—that she’s also undeniably talented. It was merely nine years ago that she took up surfing and rode her first big wave not long after that. Today, she’s considered the best female big wave surfer in the world, won countless awards (including a recent 2010 Teen Choice Award for best female action sports athlete), and scours the Internet all day long researching weather patterns and looking for storms, one of the sure-shot ways of finding big waves.
