SUPRA: How would you describe the wave on it?

Parker:  **** The wake surf wave is awesome!  It’s super customizable, has a quick transfer and is all kinds of huge!

SUPRA:  If you had a dream day what would it be?

Parker:   My dream day would be camping with our friends down on the Brazos River in Texas.  Get up early and down a big stack of pancakes followed by a morning surf set with my buds.  Picnic lunch on the water with the boats tied together; swimming and some good tunes. More surfing in the afternoon.  We wrap up the day with some wake skating and “death spirals” on the tubes. A movie back at the campground with friends and family then crash.

Okay speed round…
