The Team

Founding Members

Jacopo Lavezzi 🇮🇹

Jacopo Lavezzi AKA pj it’s an action sport enthusiast from Italy. He grew up as a kiteboarding instructor and pro rider traveling across the world on a search for wind and waves. After this he has continued to build his background through all kind of action sport: wakeboard, snowboarding, skateboarding and surfing till he found the only board he could use on his hometown hills: a onewheel.

Since then, alongside Martim Fogaça, co-founder of Float Italia, they did an awesome job growing the community around Europe and making those Gattinara hills the capital of European onewheeling.

Thanks to his pioneer vision, Pj is constantly pushing the limit of this sport surprising the community year after year with some of the coolest events in Europe and even the world!
