MATTEO IACHINO
THE LOWDOWN
Born in 1989 in a little town on the north-western coast of Italy called Savona. Matteo started windsurfing at the age of 10 and instantly got addicted to it, never stopping ever since. The passion for the sea and the elements made windsurfing become his profession.
After 5 years on the Slalom PWA World tour, Matteo reached his first world title in 2016.
