I am SISLEY

Passion plays a central theme in the I am SISLEY Campaign: passion as a driving force, dedication, motivation. All the stars have exactly this in common, the same psychological fuel, the same determination that led them to realize their dreams and choose a life that makes them truly happy.

Federico Nesti and Davide Lopez pursue happiness in surfing: leading two parallel lives, water as an essential element, love for sport as daily energy.

Federico Nesti, born and raised in Tirrenia, received his first surfboard at the age of seven and never parted with it. European Longboard champion in 2019, his next goal is to win the world championship. He experiences his talent as a gift: surfing and teaching it to new generations is his mission. Thanks to surfing, he has learned to live in harmony with nature, to know different cultures, adapting to every situation and respecting the planet.

His style? Sporty, informal, cool-on-the-beach.

Davide Lopez, also known as Dede (even though his mom calls him Tasmania), was born in Viareggio. A young and promising gymnast, he started surfing at fifteen, after losing a bet: needless to say it was love at first surf. He truly understood what surfing was during a six month trip through Indonesia and Australia, aboard a van with his best friend. He continues to travel, challenging the waves to test himself, but his great love is to teach others how to surf and to pass on his passion for this adrenaline-inducing and adventurous sport.

His style? Whimsical, relaxed, unpredictable.

FEDERICO AND DAVIDE are Sisley
