Inter X Bradley LF
Born out of a desire to embrace diversity in the quest for talent, Inter remains relentless in its commitment to performance, innovation and quality. Today, a collaboration between Inter and Bradley surfboards expresses these values in beautiful hand-crafted surfboards, built in a state-of-the-art facility in Europe’s surfing capital of Hossegor, south west France. Hossegor also happens to be the home of Leo Fioravanti, Inter fan since childhood and one of the most successful professional surfers ever to come out of Europe. Leo moved from Italy to France as a young kid to pursue his dream of competing on the elite World Championship Tour, a dream he realised in 2017. Under Leo’s feet as he competed against the very best wave riders on the planet, were hand-crafted Bradley surfboards.
Creating an Inter x Bradley surfboards model is a celebration of everything that it means to express oneself as a Nerazzurri - a passion for performance, creative collaboration, freedom of expression. We believe not only in a deep commitment to achieving goals, but achieving them with style and flair. The Inter x Bradley surfboard is based on Bradley’s acclaimed Onya model, built to go lightning fast and manoeuvre on a dime, even when the waves are small. Footballers entertain fans with tricks and flicks, speed and power, a telepathic understanding of teammates’ interplay and a surfer does much the same; riding waves as if second nature, arriving at the right place at the right time to manoeuvre with explosive skills and perfect execution.
“It’s really exciting to see Christiaan Bradley and Inter collaborating. Inter are my favourite team and I’ve been supporting them since I was six years old. I watch all the games I can and always support them, taking my Inter shirt with me wherever I go. To be able to surf on a board which represents my favourite club is something really special for me. I hope to be able to take this board with me all over the world and showcase my best surfing.”
Leonardo Fioravanti
But above all, teamwork is at the centre of everything that makes us who we are at Inter, we elevate through combined, collaborative efforts. In this exciting new project between Inter, Bradley surfboards, Leo Fioravanti and Bradley’s entire factory team, we bring you a surfboard created in the image of Inter’s unique passion and values.
So now you can embody Nerazzurri world-renowned values, even out on the water.
“I am very excited for this collaboration with such a prestigious club as Inter. Soccer is the biggest game in the world and Inter is one of the biggest clubs, with a well respected history. Associating the Bradley Surfboard line with Inter is a dream come true. Thanks to this very special club”
Christiaan Bradley
Eccola, cavalcare le onde. I colori nerazzurri dell'esclusiva tavola Inter X Bradley LF, collaborazione lanciata nei giorni scorsi, hanno incantato sulle onde artificiali Alaïa Bay, la piscina di onde artificiali più importante d’Europa. Nel Wavegarden Cove di Sion, Svizzera, il campione di surf Leonardo Fioravanti, accompagnato dal Vice President nerazzurro Javier Zanetti, dalla Legend Fabio Galante e da diversi content creator, ha realizzato evoluzioni in maglia Inter sull'esclusiva tavola realizzata in edizione limitata.
“Il surf mi dà delle sensazioni speciali: ogni onda è diversa, ogni onda ha la sua caratteristica, ogni giorno sono di fronte a uno scenario differente. C'è però un'affinità con il calcio: lo spirito. Servono amore, passione, sacrificio per portare a casa il risultato. In giro per il mondo sono l'unico surfista italiano, è un onore e un piacere. Mi piace essere d'ispirazione per i ragazzi, per promuovere il surf anche in Italia. Umiltà, motivazione e consapevolezza sono le mie armi: per arrivare ad alti livelli bisogna lavorare duramente. La mia tavola Bradley mi aiuta nelle prestazioni, l'innovazione è fondamentale per migliorarla costantemente. Le Olimpiadi sono per me un obiettivo importantissimo. Ho già partecipato a Tokyo dove non ho performato come avrei sperato. Nel 2024 arriverò con molta più esperienza, sento di avere la possibilità di portare a casa una medaglia. Il mio amore per l'Inter nasce da bambino, quando mio zio mi portò allo stadio per la prima volta. Il mio idolo è sempre stato Christian Vieri. Sono nato a Roma e cresciuto a Roma ma ho sempre tifato Inter, ho conosciuto da ragazzo Marco Materazzi, un altro idolo assoluto per me.”
