Which of these two waves is bigger?
Maya's or Justine's; that's all that remains to be decided for the big wave awards, that and if she breaks the Guinness record
Six weeks into the big wave awards ceremony, the biggest wave surfed by a woman of the year was still to be awarded. According to the WSL in a press release and on the show “The Morning After” with JOB and Kaipo Guerrero, a separate battle is taking place between Justine Dupont and Maya Gabeira.
The two surfed some bombs and both are awaiting the result, which is being closely analyzed by the Wave Co. Science team.
The result could determine whether she breaks Maya Gabeira's record of surfing a 68-foot wave right there in Nazaré.
On the show Red Bull did with Jamie O'Brien and Kaipo Guerrero, they called Justine Dupont and the Frenchwoman didn't know if she had won; Guerrero explained that they were checking each wave carefully. Dupont said that having ridden that bomb already made her feel like a winner.
