Yago Dora (born May 18, 1996), is a Brazilian professional surfer who is in the World Surf League.
Yago 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].
In 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.
[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.
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.
