California dreaming: Para surf hopefuls eye Los Angeles Olympics

Description

In sunny Pismo Beach, California, surfers participate in the World Para Surfing Championship. Surfers with disabilities gathered from all over the globe here share the same dream: that their sport is chosen to be part of the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympics. "It would be incredible" says Peruvian surfer, Pancho Arbulu, "I would feel so proud if the sport is approved and if I'm selected to represent my country's team".
