Para Surfers of the World
"See the person, not the disability"
"See the person, not the disability"
Similo Dlamini - South African (Kneel Division)
"I'm experiencing life adaptively"
Similo has Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency, a congenital birth defect. Simply put, she has a very short right leg. Other than that, she is just like you!
Alcino Pirata - Brazilian (Above the Knee Upright)
Pirata is a universally accepted as legend of our sport.
His left leg missing from high above the knee so surfs on one leg and one hand. Other than that, she is just like you!
Ismael Guilliroit - Norwegian (Division: Lower Limb Standing)
"I am a fulfilled man and happy to glide on the waves with my children and friends and share my passion"
Ismael lost his right leg below the knee at 8 days old. He surfs standing up using a prosthetic leg. Other than that, he is just like you!
