Filippo Orso

Generation after generation, Filippo Orso has always remained on the crest of the wave of Italian surfing. Believe the hype: because with Filo nazionale the limelight never goes out. Between the 1990s and early 2000s he stands out as one of the most consistent and progressive athletes, winning several stages of the Italian championship. He participates in international competitions wearing the blue jersey, makes a regular presence on magazine covers, and begins to build a personal brand. A forerunner in collaborating with industry and non-industry companies, he invests in post-career training as a coach. His way of telling the story of surfing in Italy is unique: popular and self-deprecating, but always close to the waves and the values of his people. It is no coincidence that Eurosport chose him to commentate on the first two editions of the surfing Olympics. He is a black belt in silly but killer jokes, and cold jokes are his bread and butter. Filorso is constantly in a good mood. There is only one way to indispose him: ask him what the best spots in Liguria are.
