Why We Started It

Chris:

Coastal rowing has taken me on an incredible journey—from my first strokes on the water to becoming a four-time Coastal Rowing World Champion and now training for the 2028 Olympic Games. But no matter where you are in your rowing journey—whether you're just starting out or competing at the highest level—having the right equipment is essential to success.

That’s why I’m proud to represent Filippi USA. Having raced and won in Filippi boats, I know firsthand the precision, speed, and craftsmanship that set them apart. Filippi USA is more than just a supplier—we are committed to supporting rowers at every stage, from those discovering the sport to elite athletes striving for excellence.

As a coach, business owner, and advocate for the growth of coastal rowing, my goal is to help athletes find the right equipment, develop confidence on the water, and elevate their performance. Filippi USA stands for innovation, quality, and an unwavering commitment to the rowing community.

Wherever you are in your rowing journey, I look forward to helping you find the best equipment to achieve your goals.
