Surfing in Sardinia: La Marinedda crowns the Italian champions

The bay of Isola Rossa has been chosen as the venue for the 2024 Italian National Championships in shortboard and bodyboard, hosted by the Italian Surfing, Water Skiing, and Wakeboarding Federation.

Are you ready for a September to remember? The bay of La Marinedda is once again set to become the stage for Italian and international surfing, hosting the twentieth edition of Italy’s longest-running surf contest, the Marinedda Surf Open. But this year, there’s something extra special: for the first time, the MarineddaBay Open will be part of the official championship of the FISSW – Italian Surfing, Water Skiing, and Wakeboarding Federation, a decisive event to crown the Italian champions in shortboard and bodyboard!

The waiting period begins on 15 September, and the anticipation is already high. The best surfers, both Italian and international, are fine-tuning their boards to tackle the powerful waves of the Sardinian North Shore. Imagine the adrenaline: 64 athletes ready to battle it out in one of Sardinia’s most spectacular bays, with 32 male and 16 female surfers competing in shortboard, and 8 athletes in each category of bodyboard. Registrations are open, but they close as soon as the green light is given!

The beach of La Marinedda ready to put on a show

La Marinedda is not just any bay. Since 2004, it has been a place where the history of Italian surfing has been written on its red porphyry rocks, and this year it’s set to write a new chapter. Think about it: Leonardo Fioravanti, Francisco Porcella, Roberto D’Amico, Angelo Bonomelli… These are just a few of the big names who have surfed and won here. And then there’s Eric Rebiere, two-time European champion, who has left his mark on two editions of the contest.
Born as a simple promotional event in 2004, thanks to Asd Marineddabay, this competition has grown year after year, becoming a benchmark in the competitive surfing scene. And now, with its beach that resembles a natural amphitheatre and its fast and powerful beach break waves, the Marinedda Surf Open is set to make history by awarding the 2024 FISSW national titles.

The challenge is on: the waves of La Marinedda are ready to test even the most experienced surfers, while the audience enjoys a unique spectacle. And as tradition dictates, the grand finale will be a memorable party on the beach of La Marinedda, with the sun setting behind Isola Rossa, offering everyone a magical and unforgettable atmosphere.
