Yago Dora, stalefish and disco fingers, Maldives

Brazilian jibber Yago Dora ain’t someone you’d think’d suffer blue moods of the soul. Don’t he just jiggle! Seventeen years old, six years as a surfer, smooth-as-walnut-cabinetry style and prone to night terrors. But the fear of sleep don’t stop your pals at Stab from tossing the kid on a trip to the Maldvies. “He’s been putting out mental clips and after looking at that wave in the Maldives we thought it would be a good call,” says the photographer Mr Tom Carey. “The kid didn’t disappoint. He had Nate and Mitch scratching their heads after the first few days. He’s real nice as well, very respectful and works hard. That’s what you need these days. That and a cute ass.”
