Yago Dora
Yago Dora (born May 18, 1996), is a Brazilian professional surfer who is in the World Surf League. Early lifeYago Dora was born in Curitiba, but developed his passion for surfing when his family moved to Florianópolis, encouraged by his father, Leandro Dora, a great coach of the world's surfing elite[1]. Dora started later than others in the world of surfing, but at 11 everything changed and he was soon doing radical maneuvers. CareerIn 2017, she made her first appearance at a WSL Men's Championship Tour event at the Saquarema stage of the Oi Rio Pro[2] as a wildcard, where she performed surprisingly well, finishing 3rd and defeating big names in world surfing such as Gabriel Medina, Mick Fanning and John John Florence. That same year, she placed 6th in the Qualifying Series and qualified for the 2018 CT for the first time in her career.[3] In the following years, Yago quickly gained prominence on the world circuit, but her rise was interrupted after tearing the ligament in her left ankle, which left her out of the first 5 events on the world circuit in 2022.[4] In the following 2 years, Dora experienced her best moments. In 2023, Yago reached his first final and won the VIVO Rio Pro[5][6], beating Ethan Ewing in the final. He finished 7th in the final Ranking. In 2024 Yago had a complicated start to the season and almost fell into the mid-season cut, but he recovered in the final part of the season making 2 finals in a row, in El Salvador and again at the VIVO Rio Pro, he came close to qualifying for the 2024 WSL Finals, but lost the spot in the last stage to his compatriot Ítalo Ferreira finishing the season in 6th place.[7]
