Cool to see that a surf community has developed in Italy. This video brings back some great memories of surfing uncrowded Europe a long time ago......42 years ago, I surfed Anzio (not far from Rome) on my way to the Atlantic coast of Europe. Back then, it was quite a spectacle with hundreds of locals coming to check out the Aussie guy doing something they had never seen before. Even Portugal back then was pretty quiet, there was no local surf industry or surf shops and a very small number of grass roots locals who couldn't easily get stuff like wax, wetsuits, leg ropes or even board shorts - remember, in 1980 there was no such thing as the internet and ordering stuff online. I remember giving my spare leggy (surf leash to you Americans) to a local surfer at Super Tubes (Peniche) and he was so stoked. Anyway, very cool video, Dylan.
Mate These videos are so much more enjoyable than any perfect spot show! you capture how 90% of us squeeze out just as much fun out of our local conditions as anyone at pipeline... along with some fun cultural exploits.
Dylan, I'm really enjoying your style of traveling. You show a mix of people, landscapes, info and culture which is much more realistic beyond just dropping into a destination on a good day and surfing. Shout out to the your editing and camera crew as well. there work is slick. I was staying in Turin ten years ago and found great waves in Genoa and locals leant me a wetty and board and fun was had thanks to those generous crew, Memories forever.
"Time to say goodbye." Probably my favorite song of all time. It honestly brings tears to my eyes. No shame in getting emotional when listening. It does that!
Another great insight into the lesser trodden surf spots of the world! I love how Dylan always gives props to the local characters and not just the pros.
These are the people who live and breathe this stuff and pave the way for us all to reach further and further in our communities. Not enough props are given 100%
So sick. You scored. I was there for 3 weeks (visiting family/wedding) and I got 1 shoulder high clean day. Homie had the local knowledge for sure. Btw, the locals aren’t that friendly. You had the golden key. Think surfing the ave in Santa Cruz with a I love San Jose sticker on your board. That’s how I was treated.
Surfed Sardegna couple years ago and had the worst experience. Surfed all over the world in world class waves but these were the most aggressive locals I ever met.. Threatening to kill me over a waist high wave. Love Italy tho! Beautiful country and lovely people (outside the water haha).
this channel doesnt have nearly enough support and views for how good it is, this is documentary level film every vidio better than any other surfing channel
The last spot you were to is probably Santa Severa or near by. Thanks for the good and very funny to watch footage :) The only big problem when it comes to surf nearby Rome is that you need to wait for the winter season and be prepared to feel the cold water and the cold winter hurting your ears while you are in the cold water. It is COLD, it is very COLD.
Dylan, great content as always, I love surfing and I love to travel, thanks to you I am getting a window to many great surf spots in Europe, keep the great work going and thank you for sharing.
Much appreciated ! greatest lens to see a place through a surf scene, invaluable connecting with locals and talking to them, checking different perspectives of the same things is the BEST. Thanks for tuning in
Dylan, this video was amazing. No idea italians were such good at surfing. I love their passion and fun. Un saludo de un hermano espaniol living in Ireland. Cheers.
Ripping and such a vibe too! Haha the Americano bit at 9:05 was the icing on the cake 💪🏻 Also thanks for making the effort in pronouncing it correctly instead of EXpresssaw 🦅
yeah honestly had so much fun in every surf... even that first one, from what it looked like to what it was like definitely exceeded expectations all across the board
Siempre entregando contenido de calidad y genuino! se disfruta mucho! Espero que algún día puedas venir a Uruguay y poder compartir la cultura surfera de mi país, las puertas están abiertas. saludos
@@DylanGravesYT la temporada de olas comienza ahora en otoño e invierno. yo vivo en punta del este. Uruguay tiene una costa relativamente pequeña en distancia, por lo que en cuestión de un par d horas se puede recorrer casi toda. Tenemos points breaks, muchos beach breaks, desembocaduras de lagunas hacia el mar con muy buenas olas, y tmb hay una gran comunidad surfera que vive en la capital del pais, que prácticamente surfean en el rio de la plata
@DylanGravesYT I agree all that duck dive practice helps for wheb it pumps. Plus I like the fact its such a mixed bag on a messy day you never know what that wave is going to give you! Looks like you enjoyed a great trip 🤙🏼 I never knew the med had such good waves
Acho Dylan que contenido más demente. Amo el stoke que tienen los locales allí. El segundo spot parecía el pueblo de Aguadilla! La escuelita/Cacula 😂 yew
Agreed on all fronts. What a amazing place and so greatful to Roby and all the locals to allow me to come and get a taste. What a treat and one I will remember forever ❤️
Excellent content! I was only ever a decent surfer and due to injuries, career, and family, rarely ever surf now, but your content is very entertaining and well done. Cheers!
Surfing uniting people from all over the world in peaceful pusuit of happiness and exercise. Great to see our Italian brothers in some of their home breaks.
I'm glad I got to meet you my friend, your approach to surfing is how it should be, everyone loved you. Come back soon for more pasta and barrels
Had such a blast with you and the whole crew there ❤ take me back !!! Can’t thank you enough Grazie Mille ❤
Dude your energy is inspiring. Roman surf conditions remind me of east Ireland, where I’m from, and I totally get the feeling of seeing spots working.
Hi Roby!! Great to see you showing my friend Dylan the best of Roma!!! I have known Dylan since before he was born!!! Stay INDO It!!!!
Lake Superior on a mediocre day
You and Dylan did a great job putting this together... loved it, and I love Italy too, such a great place
He does it again!! Absolutely the best surf channel on RUclips
❤️❤️❤️

Hahaha 😂 💯 yeah such good energy from Roby, he’s epic ❤

Wow Roby is such a cool guy love how excited he was to get out there.
Enjoyed this !! 🔥! And not your typical same surf spots
Glad to hear :) definitely enjoy experiencing these different scenes while I can, life’s short, surf careers even shorter 😬❤️thanks for your support
Well said !!!!!
great video. Thank you for sharing the italian surf scene!
Viva Italia. Surfed last year on Isola D’Elba, sick little Island off the Italian mainland. Love the passion, great content.
So many spots ! Italy is holding 🔥
Roby's a total frother!! Seems like a super fun guy to do a road trip with. Rock on Roby!
Yes 💯 goat host ! 🙌 had the best time with Roby and the dude was RIPPING so hard too 📈
The best episode !!! Great waves funny moments!!!
This was one for the books 📚 💯
Love travel logs with surf, excellent video, plus having the local surf whisperer Mr.D'Amico show you the wave spots Priceless.
Agreed ! On all accounts 🍻 thanks for tuning in :)
ci sono tantissime onde! grazie mille
Grazie 🙏
That place is dreamy. Not just the surf but the Italian vibe. Excellente!
this trip will be hard to top
Surely a world first. Inside a genuine, bona fide electrified Italian tube. Bravissimo.
Incredible to see these tubular cleen waves in the Mediterranean sea... I love it 😍

Thank u ! Wow that’s cool 😎!
I did not know there was a surf crew in Italy ! Thanks Dylan for sharing your adventure !
Dylan, this video was amazing. No idea italians were such good at surfing. I love their passion and fun.
Un saludo de un hermano espaniol living in Ireland.

Saludos bro 🫡 si yo tampoco…me sorprendieron con el nivel de surfing y calidad de olas 🔥🤯
Yo Dylan, glad you’re still ripping!!!
Ripping and such a vibe too! Haha the Americano bit at 9:05 was the icing on the cake 💪🏻 Also thanks for making the effort in pronouncing it correctly instead of EXpresssaw 🦅

💯 was for me too, now time to figure out how to go back!
I love this channel! So enjoyable
Thank you!! 🙏
I love watching people surf messy waves like i am used to
I honestly loved that first surf and love when it's sloppy. It's more realistic and makes you ready for when it actually pumps.
@DylanGravesYT I agree all that duck dive practice helps for wheb it pumps. Plus I like the fact its such a mixed bag on a messy day you never know what that wave is going to give you!
Looks like you enjoyed a great trip 🤙🏼 I never knew the med had such good waves
