STEPH KOKORELIS

Style and commitment, the Portuguese way.

Stephanos Kokorelis, born in Greece to Portuguese and Greek parents on 30 September 1997, moved to Portugal early in his life. Growing up in Sintra, he was able to sharpen his bodyboarding skills riding the incredible variety of waves the region offers, from wedges to perfect peaks, tubing beach breaks and impressive slabs. From a very young age, Steph was seen as a prodigy in the sport. By the time he reached his teens it was clear that Steph had a special gift for taking on powerful, frightening waves. His style, as pure as it is elegant, and his pro model, the KONED, help him manoeuvre through the hollowest, most intense sections of the wave with an outstanding rail-to-rail technique. Steph has ridden for Pride Bodyboards since 2021.
