🇮🇹 Vanessa Tittarelli
Born in 2007, Italy's Vanessa Tittarelli won World Games silver in 2025 and competes in both cable wakeboard and wakeskate.
Vanessa Tittarelli, born in 2007, announced herself on the world stage at The World Games 2025 in Chengdu. She scored 78.40 for silver in women's cable wakeboard behind Germany's Julia Rick, and Unleashed magazine described her as a rising star of Italian riding. Those Games marked cable wakeboarding's first appearance at The World Games since Duisburg 2005.
She competes on both a wakeboard and a wakeskate. At the 2024 IWWF World Cable Championships at Le Kable near Paris she placed fifth in Open Women wakeboard and fourth in Open Women wakeskate. A year earlier, at the 2023 WWA Wake Park World Championships in England, she finished second in Pro Women Park, again behind Rick.
According to her IWWF rider profile, she goes by 'Iena', started riding at Wakeland Marche in 2017 and still lists it as her home cable, and she names Liquid Force and ION among her sponsors. With a World Games medal already on her record, she is one to watch in both disciplines.
