Going Left (and a Little Bit Right) With Yago Dora

Two rights, no complaints.

Yago Dora surfs like modern Gerry at Pipe, with or without the mustache.

This is high praise given Gerry’s affinity with the wave. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely to boost Yago’s ego seeing as he’s heard it before. From us, no less.

Maybe I’m taking the easy way out by recycling my “colleague’s” previously used anaolgy, but in all honesty, the ‘stache really pushes the Gerry comparison over the edge. Combine his lip tickler with the fact that Yago never once goes Backdoor in this clip, and there you have it. G-Lo.

While Yago’s love of going left spanned almost the entirety of this clip, he decided to sneak in two Rocky Rights at the very end. I guess it wasn’t enough for Yago to de-moralize us in just one direction, as he threw in a backside full rote that was as smooth as your grandmammy’s margarine as the ender.

I could have written anything here, and the end message wouldn’t have changed one bit, which is to click above. What’re you still doing here?

PS: Like Yago’s backside style? Watch him destroy Mexican points here.
