Opinion: Yago Dora Would Be A Title Contender If There Were More Lefts On Tour

Interested in technically improving your surfing? Watch this clip a hundred times.

Yago Dora’s latest edit is a near perfect example of stylishly executed fundamentals, carried out on sandy South American racetracks. Each slash seems as though he handpicked it for the wave, and not a single bottom turn appears rushed. It’s truly a premeditated section-slaughter of the highest degree.

“Somente por Diversão” (translated “Just for Fun”) only exacerbates the heartbreak we feel about the lack of lefts on tour. Based on this edit (and his results at the end of last season), Yago would be a legitimate title contender if he had the chance to go frontside more often.
