The two athletes, both 17 years old, overturn the predictions and conquer the Marinedda surf Open, the absolute of the Fissw carried out on Sunday in Sardinia
The new generation conquers blue surfing. It is appropriate to say it thanks to the victory at the Italian Championship 2025 of Diana Giorgi And Alberto Barzan who do not have a license in their pockets but on Sunday around the neck they instead put the medals of the Fixwthe Italian Surfing, Boat Ski and Wakeboard Federation. Seventeen years eachboth Lazio: Diana born and raised in Ostia, started surfing by his father Sergio, Alberto born in New York to Roman parents, then a flight to California where he learned to surf. These are the new faces of the tricolor surf, children of a well -defined competitive path. A game of fate made them win on the wave, practically the last one, which gave him the winning overtaking. Alberto paraded the victory to Brando GiovannoniDiana a Marta Begalli. To them go the honors of second place, while the bronze goes to Caterina Congiu And Ian Catanzaritito all participants also applause for courage for having faced a sea that is rarely seen in Italy and that in Sardinia win the ocean.
Hard race, heard, with almost 30 total participants. The tears paid by those who have not made it, on both fronts, male and female: on the waves of Sardinia alla Marinedda surf openchosen for the second consecutive year as absolute by the Federation, on Sunday it did not joke, it was seen pure competitiveness and a very high level. Rabbioso sea, heavy waves that touched three meters in the evening, winded wind: the waves are not always perfect, “but Sardinia is a guarantee, they are our small Hawaii”, commented on the Sports Director Fissw Luciano Serafica. For Sardinia another blow, when it comes to surfing competitions, there is no region in Italy that holds a head for meteorological reliability, a factor that in the Mediterranean sea (and in the organization of a surf contest) is crucial. “The athletes gave their best and so in Italy are not easily found,” he commented Giuseppe Romano by the Marineddabay Association, which has organized the contest since 2004.
