The Curious Case Of Yago Dora

Easily flies right out of sight.

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Mr Dora’s asking for eight minutes of your day. Literally, that’s all he posted to his IG while promoting this clip. Which, you have to appreciate. He didn’t say you need to watch it, didn’t note that he’s spent the last three months filming in California, in Australia and Martinique. Or that he’s a lovely combination of Brazilian hustle and inspired style. His surfing is cheerful, you can feel his fun resonating in his carves, tail wafts and a mix-bag of rotated grabs. And, Thee Oh Sees and Wolfmother soundtrack’s a pleasant addition… So if you got eight minutes to spare, bring your arrow to that triangle and keep your knees bent.
