Fernando Aguerre aún surfea. A los 14 años ya arreglaba tablas de surf. A los 20, durante la dictadura militar, organizaba torneos clandestinos. A los 26 se mudó a California para fabricar sandalias ergonómicas porque tiene el pie plano. Los hitos en la historia del argentino que hizo lo que nadie se había animado: cambiar la historia del olimpismo

Nearly 250 surfers representing 51 nations are hitting the waves at the ISA World Surfing Games in Surf City, USA. The two winning nations, male and female, will punch an additional ticket to the Paris 2024 Games, as the Olympic lifestyle sport will be showcased on the epic swells in Tahiti

International Surfing Association (ISA) president Fernando Aguerre highlights progress of the sport since the inaugural Adaptive World Championships on the La Jolla shores in 2015. Aguerre: “My hope is to get as many people off their couch or out of their wheelchairs and into the water.”

An addition of eight surfers (four male, four female) will compete in the sport’s Olympic encore in 2024. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, teen-aged surfers with Olympic aspirations ride waves at the World Junior Championships in El Salvador
