Parks Bonifay (PB) is widely regarded as the most recognizable and influential watersports athlete of all time. His path to iconic status started early; in 1982, Parks set a Guinness World Record for being the youngest water skier ever. He was just 6 months and 29 days old! Parks eventually transitioned from water skiing to wakeboarding and that’s when his legendary story truly unfolded.  During his illustrious career, Parks won multiple X Games Gold Medals, was a 5-time MasterCraft Pro Tour Champion, and also landed the first 1080 on a wakeboard (switch toeside). Parks laid the foundation for wakeboarding’s progression through his original style and a willingness to push the limit at all costs. Put simply, the sport would not be where it is today without his influence. In addition to all the previously mentioned accomplishments, Parks is a barefoot and bellyflop extraordinaire!
