Even before Derek Rabelo was born, his father dreamed that he would become a surfer. He even named him after Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian world surfing champion. However, Derek was born blind due to glaucoma and his dad’s dream had to be put on hold. The young Brazilian always wanted to surf, too. When at the age of 17 (now 23) he learned about his dad’s dream, he decided it was time to make it a reality.

“However, he sent me to a surf course to learn and practise more. I have also practised a lot with my friends”
“And every single part of a wave makes different noises. So, I can decide which side of the wave I should surf towards”
“If you have a dream, you have to believe in yourself. Otherwise, you can not do it. I believe all of us has strong senses given by God”
“I was like a baby who learned how to walk. I thought that ‘I want to keep on doing it forever”
