Derek Rabelo es un surfista Brasileño ciego de nacimiento. Derek tiene 19 años y su ceguera no le ha impedido lanzarse a dominar las olas subido a una tabla de surf, con la que ha emocionado al mundo.
A pesar de no poder ver es capaz de surcar las peligrosas olas de Pipeline, en Hawai, logrando una proeza. Su historia es increible y aparece en una pelicula documental llamada "Not by sight". Aqui os dejo una pequeña entrevista de este surfista Brasileño y el trailer de la película. También podreis ver otro video sobre este chico que creo debe ser un ejemplo de superacion para todos y que nos demuestra que con esfuerzo y ganas se puede conseguir casi todo en esta vida.
