In his 20-year career as a pro-surfer, Argentinian Martín Passeri has won the championship five times.
He was aiming for the sixth, when instead of doing for the trophy, he did something extraordinary.
After an accident at the age of 18 Nicolas Gallegos was left paralyzed and unable to surf ever again. That was 20 years ago. So Passeri gave this man a chance to ride a wave during the championship, by taking him on a tandem surfing.
That earned Passeri a disqualification, yet he’s is proud of his decision and has no regrets. Here is how it happened.
Respect.
