Who I am
The Flyboard and my story: it all started like this...
I came across flyboarding by chance and it was immediately love at first sight because I was already used to the heights and the acrobatics.
Before knowing the Flyboard
HI! My name is Cristiano Perseu, Sardinia is my island and flyboarding is my passion.
From a very young age I have always been a sportsman. I won the title of Italian Champion in multiple athletics events (2007 Ancona). I had the honor of wearing the blue shirt of the Under-20 national team in the pole vault discipline (2007 Vittel - France).
I hold some regional records, and won a gold at the World Games on the Islands of Crete in 2005.
At the age of 19 I started working for a multinational in the energy sector, after a year of apprenticeship course.

Work, study and travel
In the multinational I work on board the oil platforms of the Adriatic Sea. With sacrifice I move from my Sardinia every 2 weeks, but the job I hold (production technician) allows me to increase my know-how and at the same time I can also study geology as a university course.
In 2013, during a pleasure trip to Australia, I discovered flyboarding and it was love at first sight. The following year (2014) I flew to Sardinia for the first time.
From here it's immediately magic.
I immediately became an instructor in order to quickly acquire the qualification of Professional Rider with the Flyboard and be called all over the world to fly above the water for the most sensational shows.

The adventure begins with the Flyboard
Here are some stops on my world tour: - Cascais (Portugal) - Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) - Dubai (United Arab Emirates) - Cancun (Mexico) - Tenerife (Spain) - Miami (USA)
Among my most important clients is the Genoa Boat Show (from 2015 to today). It is the event of Made in Italy excellence and the largest in the Mediterranean for sea enthusiasts.
It welcomes many operators in the sector every year, and in 2021 it reached over 92 thousand visitors.

The flyboard on TV on Canale 5
I also appeared on TV on Mediaset's Canale 5 for a game show produced by Magnolia during the 1st episode of “Do you want to bet?” presented by Michelle Hunziker and Aurora Ramazzotti for the external bet in connection from Monopoli.
In that episode which reached 4 million 91 thousand viewers, equal to 23.2% of the national share, I kept viewers glued to the TV for over 5 minutes.
I narrowly lost the bet but first of all I remember this experience with great pleasure.
The best thing is that I convinced Aurora Ramazzotti to fly in tandem with me on the flyboard... but it didn't end there... because in addition we danced a Waltz live on TV in front of millions of viewers.

X-Cat Racing Championship
Among my international experiences there is "X-Cat Racing World Championship" with a tour between Abu Dhabi, Cascais, Dubai, Gold Coast as a side event.
The UIM (Union Internationale Motonautique) X-CAT world championship is the event with the highest level of adrenaline, thrilling and fascinating in offshore powerboating.
It brings together the largest group of racing speedboats and the largest number of participating nations. It is here that I had the opportunity to meet and get to know other world flyboarding professionals and I was able to show off my acrobatics against the backdrop of the skyscrapers of the United Arab Emirates.

I collect some VIP Flyboard Tandem experiences, of which I am the pioneer of Couple Flying.

Finally with Serena Garitta, winner of the Big Brother 4 reality show, who I met as a television correspondent at the 60th Genoa Boat Show.

The flyboard on monthly and daily newspapers
In July 2016 the monthly magazine Millionaire dedicated its entire cover to me and in an article I told my story and how my passion for flyboarding was born.
Men's Health also dedicated an entire page to me in 2017 where I delve into details about flyboarding.
There are many Italian newspapers (national and regional) that have written about Cristiano Perseu and his acrobatic events with the flyboard, such as Corriere della sera, Corriere dello Sport, Il XIX Secolo, Il Tirreno, La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno etc..
They write about me especially when I am called as a testimonial at national and international sporting events, such as the X-Masters in 2015-2016-2017, or the
