The Challenges and Triumphs of Chantal Pistelli McClelland
Surf enthusiasts and ocean lovers, ready to dive into a story that breaks waves and barriers? Meet Chantal Pistelli McClelland, the surfer who’s redefining the world of adaptive surfing.
Waves of Authenticity
“Always have fun and be competitive only with yourself to push your limits and keep improving.” That’s Chantal’s mantra, and she’s a true force in the surfing world. But that’s not all, by day a model, by heart a surfer, Chantal embodies grit and determination.
Beyond Beauty: The Art of Strength
Born in America but raised on the Italian coast, Chantal is more than just a pretty face. She’s a champion for diversity and inclusivity, breaking fashion stereotypes with every step—or should I say, every wave? Her prosthetic leg isn’t just functional; it’s a customized masterpiece that proudly showcases her uniqueness.
Between Wind and Sea: An Extraordinary Career
In 2016, the wind took her to Porto Pollo, where she secured third place in the Windsurf Festival with the “Corri sull’acqua” association. For Chantal, every achievement is just a new beginning. She dove into adaptive surfing with “Surf 4 all” and hasn’t looked back. Representing Italy at the European Adaptive Surfing Championships, she competed in an all-male category.
Values Riding Waves
For Chantal Pistelli McClelland, surfing is more than a sport; it’s a way of life. She’s more than an athlete or model; she’s a symbol of living without limits. And speaking of living without limits, why settle for an ordinary surfboard when you can have a custom one from Blide? Like Chantal, we believe in uniqueness and personalization.
